Ottawa, Canada By: Matthew Baker Mrs. DeBlock 4/7/08    Ottawa, Canada is a very exciting, historical, and a huge city. It is located in the province of Ontario. The climate of Ottawa is different in every month. Ottawa is home of the first native people of Canada. The history of Ottawa was first settled in the 1800’s. There was a war of 1812 settling a military regiment. On December 31, 1857 Queen Victoria. The west side of the canal became known as “Uppertown” where the Parliament buildings are located, while the east side of the canal (wedged between the canal and Rideau River) was known as the “lower town”. Here are some sites and activities. Ottawa became a centre for lumber milling and square-cut timber industry in Canada and, in fact, for North America as a whole. From there, it quickly expanded further up (or westward along) the Ottawa River, logs were boomed by raftsmem great distances down the river to the mills. Bytown was renamed Ottawa in 1855. On December 31, 1857, Queen Victoria was asked to choose a common capital for the then province of Canada (modern Quebec and Ontario) and chose Ottawa. Now here are some economics. This location roughly halfway between Toronto and Montreal, she chose it because she liked the watercolours she had seen of the area. In fact, the Queen’s advisers had her pick Ottawa for many important reasons: The main reason was that it was the only settlement of any size located right on the border of Canada East and Canada West (Quebec/ Ontario border today) The conclusion. Ottawa is a great city to learn about and to research about This is sure an   awesome city and I hope other people would like to research lots of information on it I loved doing this project.
