Ottawa has always been about food. Bytown was founded 200 years ago as a place for the laborers working on the Rideau Canal to access food. The very next year the Byward Market was established and deepened the relationship between Ottawa and food.
Let’s celebrate this shared history together, because Food Is A Human Right!
