Ottawa, Canada
Settle in with someone who already lives here.
Jacqui's Corner is an app that puts a trusted local expert in your pocket when you move to Ottawa: honest recommendations, time with Jacqui herself, and introductions to businesses she trusts.
What you can do
The recommendations come from Jacqui, who lives in Ottawa and made this move herself.

Book time with Jacqui
Ask for a one-hour consultation or a longer project block. Pick a time, say what you would like to talk about, and Jacqui confirms by email.
Package deals
Ready-made packages built around a situation, such as moving with young children, so you do not have to work out what to ask.
Recommendations made for you
After a session Jacqui can send you a personal list of places, with her notes, so everything you need is in one place.
