Kudos to NCC and CEO Tobi Nussbaum for truly reimagining Ottawa around its beautiful waterfront. The River House restoration, Dow’s Lake swimming dock, and new café pop-ups are proof that small changes can have a big impact— Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Without a constant stream of traffic, the nation’s high street came alive for one extraordinary day.
Footfall was up nearly 50% and passenger numbers at nearby Tube stations jumped by 25%. It shows the appetite for a traffic-free Oxford Street where businesses and Londoners can thrive.
