More on Ottawa
Description from Wikipedia:
Ottawa (ˈɒtəwə or sometimes IPA: //ˈɒtəwɑː//) is the capital of Canada. The city has a population of 812,000, making it the fourth largest municipality in the country and second largest in Ontario. The cities of Ottawa-Gatineau have a population of 1,168,788, the country's fourth largest metropolitan area. (The National Capital Region which encompasses Ottawa-Gatineau and surroundings has a population of 1,451,415) Ottawa is located in the Ottawa Valley in the eastern portion of Southern Ontario. The city lies on the banks of the Ottawa River, a major waterway that forms the boundary between Ontario and Quebec.
There is no federal capital district in Canada. Ottawa is a municipality within the Province of Ontario. Although it does not constitute a separate administrative district, Ottawa is part of the federally designated National Capital Region, which includes the neighbouring Quebec municipality of Gatineau. The population of the National Capital Region was estimated by Statistics Canada to be 1,168,800 in 2007. As with other national capitals, the word "Ottawa" is also used to refer by metonymy to the country's federal government, especially as opposed to provincial or municipal authorities.
