WE HAVE SO MUCH to be proud of in Ottawa. Our city is a world capital, but it’s so much more than that. We are a beautiful and welcoming city, an international destination with a multitude of attractions and events for residents and visitors. We have a great deal to offer tourists, investors, business owners, and new residents.
As the seat of government, the home of the largest tech park in Canada, and the host to dozens of festivals and international events, Ottawa has a strong and diverse economy and the most educated population in the country. It’s a city with great potential, where innovation and opportunity meet. It’s a hub for business, culture, and tourism. It’s a home to thousands and thousands of entrepreneurs and artists. Small businesses are the engine of our economy, supported by a rich ecosystem of investment and mentorship.
Our future is bright. We are at the beginning of a new chapter for downtown Ottawa and the historic ByWard Market, with a comprehensive plan to invest in and transform the core of our city with new attractions, residential buildings, restaurants and nightlife. Our population is growing rapidly as thousands of people choose Ottawa for its unparalleled quality of life, including glorious parks, recreation, entertainment, and cuisine.
At this important juncture for our city, we will invest in our strengths and build on our history. We will welcome tourists, events, and new residents. We will continue to be the best place in Canada to live, work, play, and invest. The future belongs to Ottawa.
Mark Sutcliffe, Mayor of Ottawa
