Working in Ottawa
A bilingual city in Canada’s National Capital Region, Ottawa is ranked among the world’s most desirable cities to call home.
With
a population of 1 million, it is one of the most scenic capital cities
in the world and one of the top cities in Canada to raise a family.
The great outdoors.
Do you like green spaces, physical activity, and the great outdoors?
Ottawa is a big city with a small-town feel, with parks and trails for
skiing, cycling, and swimming close to the downtown core. Take a tour of
Gatineau Park, the National Capital Region’s conservation park.
Culturally captivating. Are you a cultural maven? Look beyond the veneer of our nation's capital and find a rich cultural landscape that includes museums of international renown, centres for performing, media, and visual arts, and more cultural events and music festivals per capita than anywhere else in Canada.
Big city, small towns.
Perhaps rural living is more your speed? Historic towns and villages
surround the Ottawa region. Enjoy the country life while still being a
short commute to the downtown core.
