About the neighborhood
Ottawa is a wonderful city! It is bilingual (English and French). As the nation’s capital, it hosts a variety of festivals and events all summer long. You can choose from live theatre, the Blues or Jazz festivals, chamber music events or rock concerts. Ottawa also has an extensive network of beautiful parks, bicycle paths and is situated on two rivers and the beautiful Rideau Canal. A short drive away you’ll find wilderness parks, lakes and rivers. Montreal, Canada’s second largest city is only 150 kilometers away - and can be visited in a day trip. Other day trips are numerous, including white water rafting and cruises on the St. Lawrence River. The United States is only an hour away!
As Canada’s Capital City, Ottawa is home to our national museums (Art Gallery, Museum of Civilization, Museum of Nature, Museum of Science and Technology, & War Museum) our Parliament and many foreign embassies. This adds to the quality of life and variety of culture to be experienced in Ottawa!

Scott and Holli were amazing! We had reached out to each other a couple years before we actually did the exchange. Their home and vehicle were perfect and as shown. They left our home and vehicle in great shape. It was one of our best exchange experiences.
