Ottawa, Gatineau and the surrounding urban and rural communities have been formally recognized as Canada’s National Capital Region. It encompasses 4,715 square kilometres of river valley, mountains, fields and wetlands. It stretches out on both sides of the Ottawa River to include parts of two Canadian provinces — Ontario (to the south) and Quebec (to the north) Lying at 79 metres above sea level, it enjoys a “continental” climate (hot and humid in summer, cold and snowy in winter) and contains two major cities — Ottawa and Gatineau — as well as numerous small towns. The region has a population of 1.081 million (as of 2000) and is one of Canada’s most bilingual communities, with nearly half a million people speaking both English and French.
