Send the Tea

Tips, Videos, Events & Ads

Three ways in. Everything is read by a human, checked against a real source, and credited. Event and pop-up listings are free.

1 · Submit a Video / Tip

Saw something in Ottawa — an incident, an opening, a moment? Upload the video or photos right here or send a link, and tell us what, where and when. Heads-up: direct uploads land in a public archive — anything sensitive goes by private link instead. Don't send footage you don't have the right to share.

Direct upload is being switched on — at zero cost. Files will go straight to the Internet Archive (a public archive — we'll flag that clearly here), and published video runs on our YouTube channel. Until the switch flips, send us a link below (Google Drive, Dropbox, YouTube, Instagram) — for sensitive footage that's the right route anyway, and every tip is read and verified the same way.

You may credit me as the source if this runs (leave unchecked to stay anonymous).

Privacy: your details go only to The Capital Tea's inbox and are used to follow up on this submission. Files sent by direct upload are stored PUBLICLY at the Internet Archive (see the warning above); files sent by private link stay between you and the newsroom. Nothing is published from a submission without verification. See our Privacy page.

2 · List an Event / Pop-Up — Free

Running something in Ottawa? Send the details and a link to your official event page. Listings are verified against that page before they appear, and they remove themselves after the event ends.

3 · Advertise / Partner

Want to reach Ottawa every morning? Tell us about your business and what you're after — sponsorships, features and partnerships. We'll reply with real options and real numbers, no inflated stats.
