 Since
being named Canada's capital by Queen Victoria in 1857, Ottawa
(formerly Bytown) has grown into a city for all seasons. From
Winterlude in February to the Tulip Festival in Spring and SuperEx
in the summer, the national capital is alive with activity every
day of the year.
 Situated
on the Ottawa River, a common border shared by the Provinces of
Ontario and Québec, Ottawa uniquely represents the nation,
reflecting our two founding cultures in day-to-day life.
The National Capital Region (NCR), comprised of the former Regional
Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton on the Ontario side, and the Communauté
urbaine de l'Outaouais (Aylmer, Gatineau and Hull) on its Québec
side, has the fourth largest population in Canada with over 1,000,000,
and one of Canada's fastest growth rates. The NCR is alive with
vitality and rich in historic tradition; a unique blend of English
and French Canada.
 The
NCR is located at the meeting of the Ottawa River, the Rideau
River (flowing between Kingston on Lake Ontario and the Ottawa)
and the Gatineau River (flowing from northern Québec).
The Ottawa
Real Estate market has grown steadily over the last 50 years.
It is approximately 200 km from Montréal and 400 km from
Toronto, Canada's two largest cities. |
