Ottawa is located in Ontario on the border of Quebec and was founded in 1826 under the name Bytown. Its strategic location enabled the unification of English speaking Canada and French speaking Canada, which later paved the way for Ottawa’s policy of bilingualism that took effect in May of 2001.
The Ottawa River stretches across the border of Ontario and Quebec, with half of the river belonging to the province of Quebec and the other to Ontario, with the dividing provincial line cut straight through the middle.
The city is broken up into 23 wards, and downtown acts as Canada’s political brain. Stand on Wellington Street and admire Parliament Hill and East Block with its green rooftop on one side and Langevin Block, a stately brownstone government building, on the other. The Peace Tower rises from Parliament Hill and Centre Block stands steadfast and tall behind it, a reminder of Canadian elegance and political strength.
