DCA - Business - Directory Ottawa

The DCA website has currently around 130,000 hits per year. About 60 % of the hits are from Canada.

Increase your exposure to the community. As an entrepreneur, you know that word of mouth advertising and recommendation works best, but you first have to let the world know that you exist. Here is a great opportunity.

Donate an amount to the DCA and in return we put you on the list for a year.

For more information go to our contact tab to find our email address.

The business directory gives you a quick overview of business run by Dutch-Canadians available in your region. If you want to purchase something, you may as well support the businesses that in turn support our own DCA. Businesses are organised by region, by type and in alphabetical order. All companies are able to offer services in Dutch.
