Ottawa is absolutely brimming with delicious restaurants, phenomenal craft breweries, and all of the poutine and BeaverTails you could ever want. It’s the place where you can bike for hours on a myriad of trails, sit on a beach, or head across the river to hike in the Gatineau Park (where you’ll find even more poutine). Indulge your artistic side with a visit to the National Gallery of Canada, the National Arts Centre, or any of the myriad museums. Check out the shops in the historic Byward Market, stroll by the Parliament Buildings or have afternoon tea at the Chateau Laurier while overlooking the Rideau Canal, a World Heritage Site.

Explore the small towns of Manotick, Merrickville, Perth and Almonte. Discover unique shops, local artisans and community theatre.

Ottawa andits surrounding communities offers so much to many people...but to me, Ottawa is home.
