Trivia For Free

Free Weekly Trivia for Ottawa’s Young Changemakers

Why You Should Care?

Ottawa youth (ages 12–30), did you know that unemployment rates for people our age are the highest they’ve been in years? Finding a job feels tougher than ever—but what if there was a weekly habit that could help you learn, connect, and get noticed by local businesses & schools—entirely for free?

That’s where Trivia 4 Tomorrow comes in.

What Is Trivia 4 Tomorrow?

Trivia 4 Tomorrow is a free for youth, supported by adults, virtual trivia game that runs every Wednesday at 7 PM sharp. It’s designed not just to test your knowledge of history, pop culture, science, and Sports, but to turn each question into an opportunity:

  • Learn new facts about your city and the world

  • Connect with hundreds of peers across Ottawa

  • Climb the leaderboard and earn city-wide recognition

  • Win swag, gift certificates, and shout-outs on our platforms

And that’s just the start.

How It Works

Register for Free using your student email (or email us if you don’t have one).

  • Click the link and log in Wednesdays at 7 PM for a 30–45 minute trivia showdown.

  • Earn points and climb the individual leaderboard and compete city wide with others.

  • Youth who shine in these free weekly games can earn an invitation to our monthly team games, competing for cash prizes on behalf of local businesses.

  • Submit your youth business, social enterprise, or community idea for a chance to be featured, get a sponsored team, and launch your own fundraiser.

Submit Your Idea / Business

From Weekly Play to Monthly Prizes

Every last Friday of the month, we host a Team T4T game with cash prizes. Youth invited from the weekly games will join these teams and compete for:

$250 (1st), $100 (2nd), $50 (3rd) in monthly cash prizes

  • Community Investment Jackpots for youth-led teams, projects and schools.

  • Swag, gift cards, and local experiences

Why This Matters

Impact Through Innovation

“Investing in youth potential is investing in innovation. Youth Ottawa fosters creativity, entrepreneurship, and leadership, resulting in sustainable solutions to today’s challenges.”

What you learn every Wednesday—what you build, who you connect with—becomes part of your story, your resume, and your network. In a job market craving creative problem-solvers, being a Trivia 4 Tomorrow champion could be your edge.

You’re graduating high school during a pandemic

Grads of 2020,
we want to hear from you!

Classes have all moved online, proms have been postponed indefinitely and graduation ceremonies complete with cap and gown are off the table — all thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With so much change and uncertainty disrupting these major milestones for teen graduates in Ottawa right now, CBC Ottawa wants to do something special for the class of 2020. 

Together Youth Ottawa and CBC Ottawa are collaborating to create a series that’s dedicated to high school graduates in the commmunity.  

Send us an email with your video or written message to friends
and fellow grads! Here's HOW:

Tell us what you want to say to the class of 2020 about graduating during a pandemic, your thoughts on the future, and/or reflections on this unusual last year of high school. 

Record a short video on your phone or submit a written message with a photo of yourself and email it to: ottawainthecommunity@cbc.ca. Include your full name, age, school and then start your message with “Dear Grads of 2020…”

We recommend that your video be less than four minutes and try to keep your written messages to 200 words or less. Your message could be featured on CBC Ottawa’s website, social media accounts, radio and/or television programs. Follow @cbcottawa and @youth_ottawa on Instagram for more details on where to find these messages throughout the month of June. The deadline for submissions is Monday, June 15. 

Please read CBC’s submission guidelines before emailing your message. 

Note: Participants who are 17 years old or younger must receive consent from a parent or guardian before contacting CBC Ottawa with a submission.
