Ottawa Travel Blogs

So I recently moved to Ottawa due to this whole "following-my-career-dreams" thing. I figured better to move to Ottawa and start my life here while waiting on this job, than to start it in Toronto, and then have to move everything here. And while I still badly want that job, I am going insane here!…

Ottawa is the capital of Canada and the country's fourth largest municipality and the second largest city in the province of Ontario. t is located in the Ottawa Valley on the eastern edge of Ontario.

Sarah, (polorockstar) had a birthday on July 24th and I looked at her profile photo and thought, I could give her a gift by changing her shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes and I hope she is happy with the outcome.  Happy Birthday, Sarah!!   If this …

Have you ever gone to a FIFA World Cup soccer match and been so close to the action that you could almost taste it? And suddenly, right in front of you is a terrific picture opportunity and somebody else just jumps right in front of you. Well, that’s what happened to Brian (brianf). So he sent m…

I moved to Ottawa East, Uplands Airforce base back in 1974 (OUCH) ... I have many memories as I went to grade school and later high school, then onto university there ... I go there for Canada Day, no other place in Canada is the same ... perhaps thats because I feel so much at home there. I will slowly show you over the yrs how Ottawa looked

A train tour of the four major cities in Eastern Canada - Toronto - Ottawa - Montreal and Quebec City.

Just a few pictures of my house to explain why no one should come here during winter :( Great country but the stuff is everywhere makes it very hard to get out of the house.

We have been in Ottawa for over a week now and it really is time to move on. The Winterlude festival has been really fun, we went to the Jacques Cartier park on Thursday which is a bit like a small water park but snow instead! We went quite late in the afternoon and it was really quiet, so we got t…

We left Montreal this morning on board the VIA Rail to get to Ottawa for our final leg of our trip. We make it to the station in Ottawa, the capital of Canada. My bag that I left in the storage bin is missing, I get off the train and the attendant is holding my bag. Saying some old lady took it thi…

Having so far been impressed with the cities we've visited, we were expecting great things from Canada's capital. In fact, Ottawa was a bit of a diappointment. We arrived at about 2pm to some lovely weather and quickly found our hostel. Despite being quite friendly and…

Even with the threat of a thunderstorm, and starting out late in the day, I decided I'd still go out since there was a decent amount of sun with all the clouds. It was a humid day, but as long as you had the right protection, clothes and lots of water, it was pleasant enough out. I stopped first a…

Toronto, Niágara, Niagara on the Lake, Ottawa, Montreal, Mont Tremblant, Quebec.

After having been to all the games of FIFA U20 in Ottawa, I've got to say it was probably the biggest sporting event ever to take place in my hometown. Ottawa was lucky enough to be able to see Argentina play four times, the Czech Republic play three,  Brazil and USA play one game ag…

I was looking forward to this trip. I have not been to Canada for 10 years. My last trip and long term stay was in B.C.! I loved it! Beautiful place! Now I was curious to see what Ontario and Quebec got to offer! :-) ....to be continued
