WHAT IS OTTAWA MATTERS?

OTTAWA MATTERS is a month-long exploration and discussion of an issue of importance and interest to Ottawa and its citizens.

Throughout the month of February 2004, the CBC and its Ottawa partners – Carleton University, Community Foundation of Ottawa, Ottawa X Press, National Film Board of Canada, Ottawa Public Library, and Ottawa City Magazine – held the first annual OTTAWA MATTERS and embarked on a citywide search of how we WORK.

For the entire month, the CBC and its partners looked at WORK from its broadest and most inclusive definition and interpretation. Why we do it, how we do it, and where we’re doing it.

Listeners tuned into CBC Radio One 91.5 for daily features on Ottawa Morning and All In A Day and viewers watched CBC Television’s Canada Now for entertaining and engaging stories and interviews relating to WORK.

Although OTTAWA MATTERS: Making It WORK 2004 is now over, our Media Archive will remain accessible for listeners and viewers to peruse.
