CREW Network has added a chapter in Ottawa, Ontario, expanding the organization’s presence to 86 chapters and more than 15,000 members globally. Delegates representing CREW Network chapters unanimously voted to add CREW Ottawa on February 7 at the 2025 CREW Network Winter Leadership Summit in Jacksonville, Floria. The new chapter will promote commercial real estate business opportunities for members and provide industry networking, education, and leadership opportunities in the Ottawa market. 

CREW Ottawa was established to address a notable gap: while most major cities in Canada boast a CREW Network chapter, Ottawa, the nation's capital, lacked a dedicated organization for women in commercial real estate. Recognizing this void, a group of passionate industry professionals came together to create a platform where women in Ottawa could connect, collaborate, and thrive. 

“The founding vision was to foster a community that supports the advancement of women in the field, providing access to networking opportunities, professional development, and mentorship,” CREW Ottawa’s board said in a collective statement. “CREW Ottawa was born out of a shared commitment to empower women and strengthen the local real estate industry by leveraging the global reach and resources of CREW Network.”
