Spend a Saturday around Bank Street, and you might find a local art exhibition, a community festival, or a small concert worth attending. For bisexual singles and couples, these everyday experiences can lead to new friendships and sometimes romance.
Dating doesn't follow one pattern. Some people want a committed relationship with one partner. Others are interested in bisexual couples dating and meeting new people together. Couples dating is simply one option, not something every bisexual person wants.
With BiCupid, people in Ottawa can explore these possibilities while being clear about what they are looking for.

According to the 2021 Canadian Census, Ottawa had 1,017,449 residents, while the wider Ottawa-Gatineau metropolitan area had nearly 1.49 million.
This large metropolitan area offers opportunities to meet people from different backgrounds. Residents can also explore nearby Gatineau, expanding their social options beyond Ontario.
Still, meeting someone compatible isn't always straightforward.
A bisexual woman might prefer dating another woman but remain interested in men. A couple might want to meet another couple for friendship before considering romance. Others may be couples looking for a third person who shares their interests.
These situations call for honest conversations rather than assumptions about someone's sexuality or relationship status.
BiCupid is a couples dating app designed for people exploring different relationship possibilities.
Instead of guessing whether someone is single, partnered, or interested in non-traditional dating, members can explain their preferences in their profiles.
Here's how BiCupid can help:
Finding a community can make dating less intimidating. Ottawa has several established LGBTQ+ organizations and cultural venues worth exploring.
Location: Bank Street, downtown Ottawa
Capital Pride organizes LGBTQ+ celebrations and community programming in Canada's capital region. Its 2026 festival ran from August 22 to 30, with a street festival along Bank Street on August 29 and 30.
Visitors could explore community booths, arts and crafts, and local organizations. For bisexual singles and couples, Pride activities provide an opportunity to learn about Ottawa's LGBTQ+ community and meet people through shared interests.
Location: 400 Cooper Street, Suite 9001, Ottawa
Kind Space is a local 2SLGBTQIA+ community centre offering peer-led discussions, social programs, community resources, and educational activities.
Its programs include opportunities for bisexual, pansexual, and questioning individuals to connect with others.
Location: 67 Nicholas Street, Ottawa
SAW is a contemporary art centre inside Arts Court. Its galleries feature exhibitions, while Club SAW hosts concerts, performances, and cultural events.

The Ottawa Art Gallery showcases Canadian and regional artwork, including the Firestone Collection of Canadian Art. Admission is free.
For couples meeting for the first time, exploring an exhibition offers plenty to discuss. Visitors can also stop at the gallery's café afterward.
The first meeting shouldn't feel like an interview. A public café, art gallery, or daytime event gives everyone room to relax.
