I have prepared this section for anyone who may be thinking of planning a trip to Canada's capital area. Most of the below links highlight summertime activities. As the site develops, I plan to add information highlighting the other three seasons. Thus, I trust that what follows may be helpful. Please excuse any repetition. Email me if you have any questions or if you would like me to create additional links more applicable to your interest.
Canada's capital region, recently renamed as Ottawa -- Gatineau, was initially a rendezvous point for fur traders, explorers and lumbermen. Samuel de Champlain established a base camp here in 1613 for his future expeditions. The first settlers arrived around 1796 and were later joined by veterans of the Napoleonic and American Revolutionary War. The construction of the Rideau Canal (1826-1832) brought pulp and paper mills to the region. This prosperous lumber village eventually became known as Ottawa, named after the Outaouac Indians.A normal drive to the downtown area takes us approximately 20 minutes. If you prefer to use public transportation, a 3 minute walk will take you to the nearest bus stop. During rush hour, an express downtown bus passes The Hazeldean Mall, a large local shopping centre. It takes us about 2 hours to drive to Montreal, approximately 4 hours to Toronto, and around 1 hour to the USA.
Below is information to anyone planning a summer of 2008 trip to Ottawa. I hope that the follows links may be helpful. Please excuse any repetition. Feel free to email me for images of our house and surrounding areas.
