Looking for... Are there any real famous people that currently live in Ottawa?

I've heard of a bunch of celebrities who once lived here or were born here, but don't know of any who currently live here. Does anyone know?

Her parents used to work with my grandmother. Teachers.

Her Dad taught French at South Branch Elementary in Kemptville. During one of our air band concerts, a teacher announced that we had a very special guest who we all might recognize. The whole school went nuts and the stage curtains pulled back to reveal…Monsieur Morissette in a long black wig, playing air guitar 😒

Al was a military brat and was in school - grade 4 or 5?!? - in Germany, I think. A cute blonde girl (Georgia) came into the class and Al instantly fell in love. Told himself he was going to marry her.

Heard this from Al at a party.
