Life in the Nation's Capital

    Ideal For

    Ottawa is perfect for you if you’re looking to experience urban living, dining, culture, and shopping blended with green space, parks, and room to breathe.

    Best Features

    Living in the Nation’s Capital has its benefits. Take a stroll in the Byward Market, skate on the Rideau Canal, or visit a trendy neighbourhood for some international cuisine.

    Considerations

    Ottawa provides the urban experience on a smaller scale. If you’re used to more cosmopolitan cities like Montreal or Toronto, life in Ottawa may feel a little slower-paced.

The City

With a vibrant technology sector, a large number of job opportunities, and affordable living costs, Ottawa is a great place to live, work and play. Packed full of outdoor activities, festivals, and national museums and galleries, Ottawa is enjoyed by everyone from families to young professionals to empty nesters.

History

The region was first home to Indigenous Peoples who lived, met, and traded here. The city’s name is derived from the Algonquin word “Odawa” which means “traders.” Ottawa became the functional legislative capital of Canada in 1866 and was officially made the capital with Confederation in 1867.
