Declan O'Farrell
Declan's a true Calgarian, born and raised. He's a big fan of craft beer, loves local food, and can't get enough of the Rocky Mountains. When he's not searching for the best burger in town, you'll find him at a Flames game or hiking with his dog, Maple.

Maeve McDonagh
Maeve's a Calgarian by choice, having moved from the East Coast. She loves sharing stories and supporting local businesses. You'll often find her exploring art galleries, cozy coffee shops, or out hiking. And when she's not busy, she's knitting or baking up a batch of delicious butter tarts.

Seamus Kavanagh
Seamus is always up for an adventure and knows all the best spots in Calgary. Whether it's a food truck or a festival, he's always in the know. When he's not exploring the city, you might find him playing hockey, telling dad jokes, or hitting the road for a weekend getaway in the mountains.

Bridget Ní Dhomhnaill
Bridget is a Calgary transplant with a knack for finding the city’s best live music, thrift shops, and patio hangs. Passionate about community and creativity, she loves connecting locals with all things YYC. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her painting, jamming to folk tunes, or chasing sunsets in the Rockies.

Ciarán Byrne
Ciarán's a real Calgarian, a food lover and history buff. He knows the city like the back of his hand and loves sharing its stories, from its food scene to its rich past. When he's not exploring, he's likely cycling, gardening, or grilling the perfect steak. A true YYC local, eh?

About Us
What We Do
To put it simply, we make being a consumer in Ottawa easier.
Best in Ottawa is your guide to the best things that Ottawa has to offer, from the top products to the most dependable services. We do extensive consumer research to find these.
That means comparing spec sheets, evaluating prices, testing products, and checking out user testimonials. It may even mean subscribing to services to see if they’re worth our while.
In other words, we scour the island looking for consumers’ best options… all so you won’t have to.

Who We Are
Who are we? We’re consumers like you!
We walk the same streets, breathe the same air, even eat the same things, most likely.
The only difference is that we’ve made it our mission in life to help other consumers. We do it by finding answers to the questions they usually ask.
How long does this product last? Are the terms of this subscription better than the terms of that one? Does this have a decent warranty?
Now you’re probably wondering why we’d spend time and money comparing products and services without charging others for it.
For one, we believe that we’re offering a necessary service. We want to help people all over the island find the products or services that they truly need.
That’s why our opinions and reviews are our own. We know the struggle of finding the right solution to a problem, so we strive to ensure all solutions we put forward are good ones.
The only compensation we may receive from what we do is an occasional referral fee for some products or services you may purchase from our site. That fee doesn’t reflect in the price you pay for any product or service, though: it won’t be passed on to you.
