Scotti, who was born and raised in Ottawa, started running at a young age as a way to explore the beauty of his city. He now runs alongside Trudeau as part of his job, documenting the Prime Minister’s love of running through photographs. On this week’s episode of The Shakeout, Scotti reveals why he loves running in Ottawa on both a personal and professional level.
