About Ottawa
The conference
takes place in Ottawa, Canada's capital, and a popular tourist
destination. Ottawa is home to four universities: Carleton University, University of Ottawa, Université Saint-Paul/St. Paul's University, and Université du Québec en
Outaouais
(across the Ottawa River in Gatineau). The Ottawa Region
offers a wide variety of urban
attractions: many of Canada's best museums and cultural facilities, as
well as the Parliament Buildings and other historical structures and
major
institutions, are located in the Capital area. At the same time,
the Ottawa
Region lies within minutes of golfing, fishing, hiking, skiing, and
many
other outdoor adventures and wilderness activities. Three rivers (the
Ottawa,
the Rideau and the Gatineau), hundreds of lakes, the historic Rideau
Canal
for boating and skating, green spaces, and bicycle paths provide ample
natural amenities within the Capital area.Ottawa
has
been ranked sixth in the world in terms of quality of life.
This
rating is based on many factors, including low crime rates,
environmental
cleanliness, public services, political stability, and socio-economic
conditions.
