Search OPCUG 
We are a group of computer enthusiasts.

Our purpose is to serve not only our members, but also the community at large. Members consist of folks like you and me who have joined together to help one another optimize the use of computer technology.  Members range from those who do not yet own a computer, to managers of corporate IT (Information Technology) departments, who want to share and help.

Our monthly meetings consist of presentations given on a variety of topics from speakers within the group as well as from outside sources. Open forum Q&A sessions allow members to find solutions to problems. Visitors are always welcome to attend our monthly meetings and Q&A sessions (currently via Zoom video conference) and meet our members. We also give in-person presentations at various branches of the Ottawa Public Library (OPL).

The OPCUG operates 3 Google Groups for disseminating and sharing information.  Members can enjoy these services by signing up. Here’s how.

You can help fulfill our motto Users helping users. Do you know someone who could give a presentation to the OPCUG?
