We are incredibly excited to share a piece of our city, Ottawa, with everyone. It has taken us two years to breathe life into this guidebook on our nation's capital and through long arduous times, we remained steadfast in our goal for the book. Ottawa often gets judged as being boring, governmental and uncreative, and we want to use our first book to change that type of discourse and negative perception by providing an insider's perspective on our city like never before. From its beautiful landscapes to its kind people, Ottawa is unparalleled and incomparable.

Wingd Takes Flight is a book launch event hosted by Eephorea to commemorate the release of Wingd’s first book titled, “An Insider’s Guide to Canada’s Capital”. This book aims to celebrate the diversity, vibrancy and eclectic culture of Ottawa, and the event aimed to gather all of the wonderful residents of Ottawa along with the family members of the Wingd team to support the release of their first book. The event was truly one to remember with speeches by Mayor Jim Watson, Executive Director of Ottawa 2017, Guy Laflamme, CEO of the Museum of History and War Museum, Mark O'Neill, Founder of Dave Smith Treatment Youth Centre, Dave Smith, and the founders of the Somali Education Fund.

Wingd's Pre-book launch event took place on August 10th at the Lowertown Brewery restaurant located on 73 York Street. It was a free community event that hosted several Ottawans and keynote speakers and guests like the Mayor of Ottawa, Jim Watson, CEO of NCC/CCN, Dr. Mark Kristmanson, Ottawa's running ambassador, Noel Paine, Founder of Young & Awesome, Nabil Imani, President of Media Action, Amanda Parriag, and Founder of Ottawa Boomers, Christine O'Grady.
