City - Ottawa

Ottawa, the capital of Canada, is located in southeastern Ontario. Originally a trading and lumber town, Ottawa became the capital in 1867. Due to its location between English-speaking Ontario and French-speaking Québec, Ottawa is one of the most bilingual cities in Canada. The metropolitan area spans the Ottawa River, providing scenic views throughout the city.

The federal government is Ottawa’s largest employer, with additional jobs in technology and telecommunications. The University of Ottawa and Carleton University are both located in the city.

Residents enjoy extensive parks and green space, including the Rideau Canal, which fills with boats in summer and becomes the world’s longest skating rink in winter. Major’s Hill Park offers scenic walks near museums and historic buildings, while Walter Baker Park is a favourite among dog owners. Dining options include French cuisine at Absinthe, casual meals at the Brig Pub, and family-owned favourites like Cumberland Pizza.
