WHO WE REACH
The average Old Ottawa East resident is affluent and highly educated. Average household income is $104,609 while 77% of residents hold a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to 45% in Ottawa as a whole. Households are split between owners and renters.
Approximately 8,600 people live in Old Ottawa East, with the population having grown by almost 15% since 2016.
Three key factors fuel this growth:
• The Greystone Village housing development that will see close to 1500 new homes, condos and apartments upon completion
• The transformation of Main Street into a compete street which gives as much preference to pedestrians and cyclists as it does to cars
• The recently built Flora Footbridge over the Rideau Canal connecting Old Ottawa East to the Glebe.
The community is sandwiched between the Rideau Canal and the Rideau River which form its western and eastern boundaries. The Queensway and Nicolas Street form the northern border with Avenue Road marking the southern border.
CIRCULATION AND DISTRIBUTION
4,000 copies per issue are hand-delivered to every family dwelling and to business in the community. Copies are also available to residents of condominiums and apartments, and through four conveniently located newspaper boxes, including one at the base of the Flora Footbridge.
