Where is Ottawa?

Ottawa is the capital city of Canada. It’s to be found in the south-east of the country in the province of Ontario, although Quebec starts just the other side of the Ottawa River from the city centre. 

It’s the fourth largest city in Canada, with a population of approximately one million. Around 400, 000 more live in the Greater Ottawa-Gatineau area. The two largest cities in the country are Toronto, 218 miles south-west of Ottawa, and Montreal, 102 miles to the north-east.

The currency in Canada is the Canadian dollar. The official languages of the country are English and French, and in Ottawa, English is spoken as a first language by 82% of the city’s population and French by 16%.

Ottawa’s airport serves a range of destinations in Canada, Mexico, and the US, and a change of flight might be required if you are travelling from Europe.

Business in Ottawa

Canada is one of the world’s 10 largest national economies. Although there are larger cities in Canada, as its capital, Ottawa generates a fair proportion of the country’s GDP. 

 As you might expect in a capital city, the government is one of the largest employers. Other significant industries here include technology, agriculture, mining of aggregates, manufacture of cars and household items, construction, financial services, tourism, and real estate. Many of the city’s high-tech businesses are small- and medium-sized firms and start-up enterprises.

 The various strands of the creative sector also have a strong presence here, including science, engineering, arts, design, and media. 

Median household incomes here are higher than in most major Canadian cities, and the unemployment rate has usually been lower than in the country as a whole in recent years.

 Some of the best-known companies with operations in Ottawa include Walmart, IBM, Amazon, Deloitte, Cisco, TD Bank, Accenture, Nokia, KPMG, and Apple. 

Things To Do in Ottawa

With Ottawa being the capital, many of Canada’s national museums are located here. The Canada Aviation and Space Museum not only has exhibits about aircraft engines and the International Space Station, but also allows you to take a ride in a biplane. 

 The National Gallery hosts a large collection of art from indigenous and modern Canadian artists. 

 More active pastimes include stand-up paddleboarding and white-water rafting, which are available on the Ottawa and Gatineau rivers. In the winter, the Rideau Canal becomes the world’s largest skating rink. 

 The 135 square mile Gatineau Park offers miles of hiking and biking trails, and the opportunity to go canoeing. 

 In some ways, things might look similar to London here. The magnificent Canadian parliament building is reminiscent of its British cousin, while Parliament Hill hosts a daily changing of the guard ceremony.
