I have shipped barrels to Jamaica from Toronto. Its very reasonale. I paid $45 ..regardless of the weight.Its not shipped by weiht but by cubic ft ..So as long as the top will fir on securely, yu can stuff it . From Ottawa, I suggest you look for a grocery store that sells West Indian Food in Ottawa and ask anyone in the store. Thye will prolly have the info sice Caribbean ppl buy the barrels from the West Indian stores. Also ask any West Indian person you meet, . Dont forget the haitians too. The company I used in Toronto is called Sea Jamaica Shipping. I am almost sure you will have shipping companies there in Otawa. You may even call Sea Jamaica Shipping and the may have an office there in Ottawa.
