City Information
The city take its name from the Indian word, Outsoar, the name of the Algonquin Indian tribe, which settled and traded at the junction of the Ottawa, Roseau and Gastineau rivers. The city is located on the Ottawa River, on the border between Ontario and Quebec.
Nestled at the junction of three picturesque rivers, Ottawa is considered one of the world's most beautiful capitals. The city also borders the province of Québec, creating a dynamic cultural milieu in which both French and English cultures are deeply rooted. The result is a truly cosmopolitan experience-a North American city with a distinctly European charm and flair. The city's rich ethnic diversity also includes thriving German, Lebanese, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Portuguese, and Asian communities, among others.
The seat of Canada's federal government, Ottawa is a major centre for the visual and performing arts. Yet the city retains the accessibility, atmosphere and charm of a smaller centre-rich in wide-open green spaces, parks and wilderness areas. A four-hour drive north-east of Toronto and two hours west of Montreal, Ottawa presents visitors with a wide selection of sightseeing and outdoor-leisure options.
