“Oh Ralf, you’re going to Ottawa? Please, if you can, bring me back a dozen Golden Palace egg rolls?” Sure.

I was living in Vancouver at the time and a friend, who also grew up in Ottawa, was clearly missing these rolls. It had been decades since she’d had one. Being the food excavator that I am, I was happy to oblige.

Together, let's build Canadian-owned, local journalism in Ottawa

Local news in Canada is struggling to survive. But here at the Lookout, our small team is on a mission to expand our neighbourhood journalism across all of Ottawa. And it’s working.

Unlike almost every other publication in Ottawa, we’re reader-funded. That means we rely on readers like you to pay our journalists and fund the stories you read.

It means we don’t need to chase clickbait stories, but long-form, in-depth local stories you can’t find anywhere else.

To do all this, we need your help. Consider becoming a member today to fund our journalists and help us build the future of local journalism in Ottawa, one that’s powered by locals.

Together, we can rebuild local neighbourhood news in Ottawa.

—Geoff, Charlie and Ralf, the Ottawa Lookout team
