Ottawa is Canada's capital city. It is a very multicultural city, with embassies from all over the world. There are many restaurants, museums, theatres, festivals all year round, and beautiful parks for bicycling, hiking, roller-blading, and picnicking. The school is located in downtown Ottawa, at the very heart of the public transportation system. It's the most convenient location possible! It takes about 3 minutes to reach Parliament Hill on foot, and 10 minutes to reach the famous Rideau Canal and Byward Market.
