PUBLISHER’S LETTER Welcome to Ottawa Outdoors


“Monthly” magazine issues! Well we did it! :-) At the request of many


advertisers, clubs and readers like you, we’re now a monthly magazine! To be precise, that’s 12 digital issues emailed to your in-box every year, and three print issues you can pick-up at local sports stores all over the region. We’re most excited about this because it makes Ottawa Outdoors


extremely current. If there are upcoming events, races or sales, we’re going to let you know about it first. The lower ad rates have the advertisers happy, and a whopping 53,000 of you will get the link to the current issues every month! This will allow you to stay on top of events, see great photos, read


articles written by local experts, and take advantage of monthly give-aways in contests and more. We hope you enjoy it, and write to us anytime! Let the summer games begin!
