Ottawa is the capital of Canada and the center of Canadian government. The site of numerous festivals, light shows, tours, and of course, Royal Canadian Mounted Police parades, there is something every student of the Adult English Courses in Ottawa!
Ottawa’s natural treasures include beaches, parks, woodlands, rivers, and lakes. Of particular pride to the people of Ottawa is the Rideau Canal, which offers a unique experience to Adult English Course students regardless of the season. The river is 7.8 kilometers long, and in the winter it is the world’s largest ice-skating rink; and in the summer, it provides a perfect sightseeing route for recreational boating. The queen of England chose Ottawa as the capital of Canada for its strategic location. Thus, it is very easy for students of the Adult English Courses in Ottawa to organize trips to Montréal, Toronto, and Niagara Falls.

There are four very distinct seasons here, and students of the Adult English Courses in Ottawa can enjoy many seasonal activities such as Winterlude in winter; the Tulip Festival in spring; and the best Canada Day celebrations in summer. Being the capital as well, Ottawa is home to Canada’s national museums and heritage sites. There is no shortage of things to do and love in this stately city.
