About Ottawa
Ottawa is a thriving, bilingual city situated right on the edge of the Ottawa River, a stone’s throw from neighbouring Quebec. Within the area, you’ll find numerous neighbourhoods that boast diverse housing options, well-paying job sectors, and rich cultural amenities.
With the Parliament buildings sitting at the heart of the city and dominating the downtown architecture, the federal government is the city’s largest employer. The National Capital Region extends to nearby Gatineau and throughout the Ottawa Valley, making this a great location for professionals and families searching for unique career opportunities and to settle down and grow their roots.
Lifestyle in Ottawa’s Downtown Core
Ottawa promotes Canadian and international culture all year round through festivals, museums, and themed events. No matter the season, you can find a family-friendly event to bring everyone to. Ottawa’s downtown core is bustling with attractions such as the Rideau Canal, Dow’s Lake, Parliament Hill, ByWard Market, and various museums.
Many neighbourhoods and homes are within walking distance of amenities and attractions such as schools, rivers, shops, and parks.
Seasonality and Natural Attractions
The weather in Ottawa ranges widely, and the city knows how to make use of the extremes—in the deep winter months, the Rideau Canal turns into the world’s longest ice skating rink. In the summer and fall, you’re only a short drive from amazing hiking opportunities in the Gatineau hills.
Preserving and maintaining green space in Ottawa’s downtown core and suburban reaches is a priority, which means you can find biking and walking trails through the city. Along the canal, you’ll find pockets of one-of-a-kind views you can’t find just anywhere.
Public Transit and Transportation
While biking and walking may not be as convenient for your daily commute, especially in the colder months, Ottawa boasts an impressive and growing public transit network. While there are extensive local and rapid transit busses, Ottawa has been expanding its LRT system from Tunney’s Pasture to Orleans, letting you hop on a train and find yourself across the city in 20 minutes!
The LRT is still growing, so more and more neighbourhoods are being connected to this network every year. What was once a convenient car commute may become an easy park-and-ride at your nearest train station in just a few years!
