Faced with stiff competition from globally dominant mega-centres, smaller cities like Ottawa can compensate for their size by actively bringing together people to exchange ideas, share perspectives, and form new partnerships to solve existing and emerging problems. OOL will make it easy to organize these events and lower the risk by developing an ecosystem with experienced facilitators, physical resources, and proven processes. OOL is anchored by Ottawa's cultural planning group and aims to make Ottawa a global magnet for creative industries and talent.1 aAyukawa, Michael1 aDupont, Julie  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/371
