Ottawa Links
Covering an area of over 4,500 square kilometres, the Ottawa Region is unique in its history, geography and lifestyle. Ottawa offers a wide variety of urban attractions. Many of Canada's best museums and cultural facilities, as well as the Parliament Buildings, other historical structures and major institutions, are located in the Capital region.
