The city is calm, outdoorsy and full of people who moved here for work and want to meet others. Joining a club or group helps a lot. - What are fun date ideas in Ottawa in winter? Skate the Rideau Canal Skateway, go to Winterlude, ski in Gatineau Park or spend a Thursday evening at the Museum of History. - Where do Ottawa singles meet in person? Library conversation groups, ski trails in Gatineau Park, the Sunday farmers' market at Lansdowne and free festival events. - Is it hard to date across Ottawa and Gatineau? Not really.
