Thankfully, the government has stepped in.

Others have called it, 'A good place to take a long nap.' But Ottawa has set out to change all that. I've never been there so I would have no way of knowing, but to many people it's known as 'The City That Fun Forgot'. I'm glad Ottawa has finally decided to get themselves a Nightlife Czar. But the company went out of business in about 2 weeks so who gives a shit. They said, 'How about we just call you an Account Executive instead.' Which was pretty disappointing. I was their first sales person so they told me I could make my title whatever I'd like. I once took a sales job for a start-up energy company while I was living in Los Angeles. The job title is still to be determined, with officials tossing around ideas such as night mayor, nightlife commissioner or night czar. Ottawa is looking to hire someone to preside over the city’s nightlife. Municipal leaders want to turn that image around. YouTube celebrities have traveled here to document whether Ottawa is as drab as advertised.

They also know Ottawa, fairly or not, as “the city that fun forgot,” a moniker penned over four decades ago by the late Canadian political commentator and satirist Allan Fotheringham. WSJ - Canadians know Ottawa as the home of government, where roughly a quarter of the metropolitan area’s 1.5 million residents work in the public sector.
