Our National Capital Region
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 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.
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).
