About Event
Supporting local is not just a trendy buzzword — it’s become a necessity. That’s why the launch of Ottawa Made is more timely than ever. It’s local people (the incomparable Caroline Phillips (https://www.linkedin.com/in/caroline-phillips-38b47511) and Sam Laprade, CFRE) writing about local inventors, both scientific and artistic, in a book published by Ron Corbett of Ottawa Press and Publishing, selling at a local price — no U.S. dollar conversion fee (phew).
This is the official book launch bash complete with food, drinks and live music!
