As with any local chapter, you'll need to try to enumerate the  
breadth of people who are interested in making it happen.  If you are  
still convinced there is value, then I suggest you help spearhead the  
discussion on the main list and help populate the wiki page I just  
started:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Canada

In the end, you may find that most people are from Ottawa anyway, but  
I'm sure there will be others as well.  Maybe at some point smaller  
regional groups could actually be sub/working groups under national  
banners.
