Living in Ottawa, Canada

As the country's capital city, Ottawa is best known as being home to the seat of federal government. But behind that façade lies an architecturally stunning city with a unique combination of urban and rural experiences. From cultural performances at the National Arts Centre to street performers in the Market, the ambiance in Ottawa is ever changing. Festivals, sporting events and exhibits at over 29 local museums present visitors and residents alike with a wonderful menu of things to see and do. The changing seasons offer highlights as well - spring, with over 3 million tulips in bloom, summer, with an action-packed festival and event schedule; fall, with the beautiful changing colours, and in winter, the world's largest skating rink.

Looking at Ottawa's history, its very origins lie in meeting and trading. This holds true today, as Ottawa has become one of Canada's top destinations to hold a meeting, convention or incentive gathering. Not only is Ottawa a major national centre for high technology, biotechnology and medical research, it is also home to over 1,000 associations. Other essential ingredients for success include Ottawa's location in one of the most beautiful settings in the country with easy accessibility, a variety of meeting facilities, excellent tourism infrastructure, and proximity to the federal government.
