launched a Bring
the World to Ottawa campaign as a way of calling upon
the Ottawa-Gatineau communities for their collective support in helping
make the stadium and MLS team a reality. More details on the campaign
are available at www.BringtheWorldtoOttawa.ca.

that MLS would award an Ottawa franchise that would begin play sometime
after 2011. Related: Eugene
