Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Wed. July 2nd, 2025

Is the worldwide romance with today’s dating apps starting to evaporate? It certainly seems that way, as Bumble and Match announce massive spending cuts to their operations department. Assuming this sudden shift in reality takes a hold of society, speed dating and socialization at local bars could be making a comeback among today’s single population.

Jerome Miousse, the Director of Public Affairs for Ottawa Tourism, pays us a visit.
