[Edited and took out my first request as I solved that on my own]
Second: can the EV enthusiasts here recommend Canadian based or even more local forums I can join? I've found the Tesla Ottawa Owners Club forum but it's pretty quiet.

Congrats! I strongly second
CyrusKafaiwu's recommendation of PlugShare and A Better Route Planner. As for charging network apps, figure out which networks you are most likely to use and install those. Some to choose from are (though I am sure there are others):
- Flo,
- ElectricCircuit,
- ChargePoint,
- myEVRoute,
- Electrify Canada,
- Ivy, and
- SWITCH
You also might want to consider joining the
Electric Vehicle Council of Ottawa. They offer a free trial membership.
