The Ottawa-Gatineau metropolitan area is one of the largest urban regions in Canada, straddling the Ontario-Quebec border. While cannabis is legal in both provinces, the rules, products, and delivery options can differ between the two sides. This guide covers what you need to know about cannabis delivery in the Ottawa-Gatineau region.
