Welcome to the Great White North! Hopefully someone in Ottawa will better be able to answer you than I. I live about 2.5Hrs from Ottawa, and get my stuff locally. You can try this place: http://www.multi-hobby.com/ They are in Hull, Quebec, but that is just across the river from Ottawa. At least it's a start. There are a few good mail order shops in Canada that have good prices and fast shipping. http://www.greathobbies.com/ and http://www.hobbywholesale.com The Canadian equivalent of the NZAMA is MAAC, and their website is http://www.maac.ca/
I lived in Napier from 1995-2000, and absolutely loved it. The Hawkes Bay Radio Flyers are a great club. What brings you way up here? I hope your move goes well. If there is anything I could do to help with your move, please let me know. By the way, did you know Ottawa is the second coldest capital city in the world, second to Moscow? I miss those Hawkes bay summers, let me tell ya!!!! Cheers, mate.

Discount Hobbied on St.Joseph Blvd in Orleans (east end of Ottawa) is a good place. I never had any problem with them while I livedin Ottawa, Multi Hobby should be another good location. It is in Hull across the river.

Thanks VonJ 
Im not there yet, but working hard on getting there! Im over in October to find a job, and hopefully to stay soon!
Yep, been to Hull, well to the museum, but will get there for a good look this time.
You lived here, cool, are you from here, or ? Yeah the Bay is a good club, I have flown with them once or twice over the years.
My girlfriend is what brings me there, and she is well worth relocation to the other side of the world.
Oh and thanks for the 'coldest capital' fact
Im figuring i can spend the 'snow' time building... so i could be a good thing.
Thanks for all the info... appreciate it.
Cheers

V6Goose: I'm from here in Ontario, actually. In 1995, I had the opportunity to work for Airways Corp of NZ as a controller in Napier. Great spot, great job. My wife had some health problems and we decided we should live closer to family, so we came back in 2000. We both really miss it and the people. And if you ever get the chance to eat at Hot Chick near in Ahuriri on a stormy day, take it. Anyway, the winter is the perfect time to build. I found it really hard when I could fly 365 days a year. I can just sense the sympathy from the rest of the Canadians .
Good Luck with the move.
Cheers.

LOL, that is funny. I never caught that. Maybe the moderator will have to remove it. (Hot Chick is a BBQ chicken restaurant, honest!!!!). I know all about doing what ya gotta do. You'll never regret giving stuff a try, but usually you will regret an opportunity that you never took. By the way, the wife is doing just fine. Enjoy crating, I know what that can be like. Coming back here, I had a 1/4 scale Fokker DR1 triplane and a few .40 size aircraft. Everything made it OK. I went to Noel Leeming's and asked for one of their boxes that new refrigerators come in. Then I re-enforced the bottom, and put the planes in nose first, and then the wings. I used lots of foam padding between all the parts. use enough padding so that nothing can move. Then put big "This End Up" arrows all over the box. Then cross your fingers and pray.
