"In Ottawa, it is important to be respectful of the Indigenous peoples of the area. Avoid making jokes or comments that could be seen as offensive or insensitive. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local customs and traditions, and to be respectful of them. It is also important to be mindful of the local language, and to avoid using language that could be seen as offensive or inappropriate. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local laws and regulations, and to abide by them," wrote a member who made the move to Ottawa, Canada.
