Thank You
It all started with an idea—I wanted to thank our city. Jennifer Stewart said, “What if it was a love letter to Ottawa?” Sonya said, “We’ll help you host and make it part of something bigger.” Sam Laprade simply asked, “Tell me what you need, and I’ll help you make it happen.” Then Jenny Chen said, “I’ll run the campaign.” Just like that, I went from having a dream to having a mighty circle of women who believed in it with me. Thank you for standing with me in love, purpose, and possibility.
Thank you to our Inaugural Ottawa Day Champions
