Hi from Ottawa, Canada

Hi, I'm a new member (or more accurately, became a member once, but never used the account, and now forgot what it was).

I'm mostly on Instagram but thought I'd join a more traditional forum for the flexibility of being able to discuss a wider variety of topics from more machines than just my phone. See you all again soon!

Greetings and welcome. You have a vibrant and active fountain pen community in your city, as well as a couple good pen and paper shops.

Oh hey, thanks Scrawler, I'm not part of my local scene at all (work & four kids will do that to me) but I'll have to say hi to them sometime. I'm aiming to go to the Toronto Pen Show though.

I live some distance from the city so can't always get in. I had intended to go to a meeting tonight but had to move office furniture so missed it. There is a Facebook page for the Ottawa fountain pen society. Even if you cannot participate regularly they will make you welcome.
