Meeting someone new can be a daunting task, especially if you have not got the time during the week, or if you are exceptionally shy. Lucky for you, they are organizations in Ottawa that specialize in this service, and are far less expensive than you may think. There are many activities that have been planned that facilitate bringing people together in a natural environment, where there is no pressure to hit it off immediately.

One such event is the "Singles Back Country Horseback Riding and Bonfire" which is located at Captiva Farms, 189 Chemin de la Montagne in Wakefield, Quebec. Here, you will be able to meet up with other adventurous singles and experience the rolling hills and deep valleys of the picturesque landscape, which offer the perfect environment to meet up with like-minded people, without the unwanted distractions of city life. Days are spent horseback riding, which allow you to experience the magnificence of nature, while at night, bonfires create the perfect atmosphere for getting to know new people in a more intimate setting. The price is set at $60, and if transport is a problem for you, then carpooling is available.

Another great nature related event is the "Singles Whitewater Rafting", which is situated at the New world rafting centre at 25 Chemin des Sept Chutes, C.P. 100 Grenville-sur-la-Rouge, Québec. This event promises an exciting day of river rafting on one of the greatest whitewater rivers in North America. After spending a short period training on boat safety and learning how to steer your boat through the rapids, you will be let loose to experience 8 to 10 km of pristine river and rapids up to class three. There will also be periodic stops for swimming and body surfing with the midday break set aside for a riverside lunch. The cost of $120 includes lunch, barbecue dinner and River Cash to spend on souvenirs and beverages. If you are a vegetarian, there is no need to worry because provisions will be made for you.

I am sure you would agree that meeting someone new has never been made easier, and the hosted events listed above are sure to create the perfect atmosphere for you to meet that special someone. All it needs is for you to take a chance and to get into touch with someone who could be the perfect match, and to be more than just a companion. Who knows, they might even turn out to be a long life partner.
