Ottawa

Ottawa, located in the province of Ontario, has been Canada’s capital city since it was declared in 1867. The city was chosen as the seat of government by Queen Victoria and stands as a testament to its status today, despite Toronto being the country’s largest city. Ottawa is home to some of Canada’s most iconic landmarks such as Parliament Hill, where many executive and legislative decisions have been made. Even after more than 150 years since Ottawa was declared the capital of Canada, it still remains an important part of the nation’s past and present.
