Tour & Travel Packages to Ottawa

Ottawa had a significant presence in the Canadian Football League with the Ottawa Rough Riders football team and an attempted revival with the Ottawa Renegades (established 2002 - suspended operations in 2006, due to financial difficulties and poor fan attendance). Local not-for-profit organizations such as volunteer-based community or recreation associations are invited to apply for funding to provide one- to two-day civic events with free admission that foster civic pride and develop community cohesion. These events are linked to and celebrate a civic/statutory holiday (i.e. Victoria Day, Canada Day), are held in a specific geographic district in Ottawa and encompass a broad range of activities.

Ottawa is Canada's capital, and it is a city well worth a visit. For a current view of the Parliament Buildings, visit Parliament Hill. Ottawa has been described as one of the most beautiful capitals in the world. Less than an hour's drive from the American border, Ottawa enjoys the attributes of a major centre for the visual and performing arts, as well as other big city attractions. Yet, it still maintains the accessibility, atmosphere and charm of a smaller city, in addition to access to spectacular park and wilderness areas located within and around the city.
