About Ottawa, ON

Ottawa, Canada's capital, sits where the Ottawa River meets the Rideau Canal, right along the Quebec border. From Toronto, take the 401 to Highway 416 straight into town (about 4-5 hours); from Montreal, it's a quick run up Highway 417. Crossing into Gatineau for work or a night out is a daily habit for plenty of locals, just a 13 km hop over the river. YOW airport is 15 km from downtown, and EV chargers are easy to find along the 417. Come winter, the Rideau Canal turns into the world's largest naturally frozen skating rink, nearly 8 km end to end.
