Introducing Oh Ya Ottawa!

For the past 3 years, I have been teaching marketing at Algonquin College. Every year I look for examples, cases, products, and businesses my students can relate to so they will connect with the learning. I have also tried to introduce my students to entrepreneurs because I believe that this city needs some new juice. Oh Ya Ottawa is my way of bringing these two issues together and sharing my findings with other educators so they can also help inspire generation Y.

My goal is to profile 26 businesses over the next year. Every two weeks, I will profile a business worthy of an 'Oh Ya' that I have found or has been recommended to me. I'm looking for recommendations.

I will be launching the first profile on September 15th and the spotlight will be on DNA11 - small, dynamic, unique, art, international, Algonquin grads. More coming on the 15th.
