Ottawa Top Attractions Airplanes, Parliament, Tulips, Shopping and More


Ottawa is the capital city of Canada and is located on the Ottawa River. This city is considered the technological and political center of Canada. Originally this area was home to the Algonquin people that traded in lumber and fur. The name "Ottawa" comes from Alqonqion and translates as "to trade". There are many top attractions in the city that should not be missed and several festivals that are unique to Ottawa. It is a great city to learn about the history of Canada.

Parliament Hill is the seat of the federal government in Canada with its buildings sitting on the Hill, overlooking the city. It is possible to take guided tours through the House of Commons, Senate, Peace Tower and public galleries. The stonework of the buildings are quite interesting with bosses, grotesques, gargoyles and other figures carved into the stone. During the summer months it is possible to see the changing of the guard on the front Lawn of Parliament Hill and there is also a Sound and Light show in the evenings.

Each year in the spring Ottawa holds the tulip festival, the largest festival of its kind. In 1945, Princess Juliana of the Netherlands gifted the city thousands of tulips, as the Dutch Royal Family stayed in the city during the World War II. Besides viewing thousands of tulips there are also family activities and entertainments, as well as an international pavilion that showcases culture and food from around the world. The Tulip route will take visitors to all the main tulip sites in the city.

One of the world best collections of civil and military aircraft can be seen at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. The museum is located in a giant aircraft hangar.

Apartment Decorating 101


Apartments can be a lot of fun to decorate. Usually smaller than most houses yet still a comfortable size, they offer the perfect amount of living space for anyone from a recent college graduate to a small family. Yet people sometimes have trouble decorating their apartments in a way that utilizes their space in an efficient yet stylish way.
There are many ways to spruce up your apartment so that you feel as though you aren’t living in an impersonal box and instead are living in a home of your own! Large wall decorations such as paintings, posters and blown-up photographs can be aesthetically pleasing without being overpowering and sow some serious style.
If the apartment that you are living in is of a smaller size, there are many furnishing that can help make the space feel more expansive. Lighting is key. Harsh, unflattering light fixtures should be replaced by ones that you like and that cast a softer, cozier glow. Windows can also bring in sunlight during the day, and opening the curtains or blinds during the daytime can let in a lot of natural sunlight and help bring the outdoors inside, which can make a room feel larger than it actually is.
Unlike many traditional homes, most apartments do not have dining rooms that are their own separate rooms. Instead, there is usually a space set of from the kitchen that is meant to serve as the dining room. In many apartments, this area is fairly small and cannot comfortably fit a large dining table. Instead, opt for one that seats anywhere from four to six people and doesn’t take up too much space. To many, a formal dining area is important in a home, and the feel of one such dining room can still be had in an apartment.
Decorating an apartment and making it truly yours with personal touches of your own can be a lot of fun, and making the most of the space is easy to do.

171 O'Connor Street Just 11 min. from the Canadian Museum of Nature

Great museum access from 171 O'Connor Street, the Imperial Apartments. Located just 11 min. walk from the Canadian Museum of Civilization, you will always have access to a great educational and entertaining experience!

Home to brand-new exhibitions and galleries, a 100-year-old stone “castle”, and Canada’s natural history collection.

See http://nature.ca/en/home for more information.

There is some great history with the building as well, the building, known as the Victoria Memorial Museum Building, was built in former farm fields known as Appin Place, the estate of the Scottish-born merchant, William Stewart. The neighbourhood became known as Stewarton and residential development started in the area during the 1870s. The government purchased the land in 1905 hoping to develop the site as a sort of 'end piece' to complement the stone structure of the Canadian Parliament Buildings at the opposite end of Metcalfe Street, on Parliament Hill.


This massive stone structure is an excellent example of early 20th-century architecture in Ottawa, and was built for $1,250,000 by architect David Ewart who is responsible for many similar structures around the city.The construction of the building involved the importing of 300 skilled stonemasons from Scotland.The architectural style is sometimes described as Scottish baronial. Ewart was sent to Britain to study the architecture of Hampton Court and Windsor Castle, which greatly influenced his design of this building.
Unfortunately, because of the presence of unstable Leda clay in the geology of the site, a tall tower that was situated at the front of the building had to be taken down in 1915 due to settling and the concern that the foundation could not support the weight. The unstable site forced some workers to stop working, as shifting foundations in the basement shot bricks and stones out from the walls, hitting some construction workers
The building found itself filling a more auspicious role than originally intended when in 1916, fire consumed the majority of the Centre Block on Parliament Hill. The recently completed Victoria Museum Building became the temporary home of the House of Commons from 1916 to 1919 and the affairs of the government were run from the site until the completion of the new Parliament building in 1922.The Senate used the first floor mineral room (now Talisman Energy Fossil Gallery) and the Commons used the amphitheatre on third floor (now the Salon). Chairs and tables for members were brought in, as well as the speaker's chair for both the Senate and Commons.

In 1968, the National Museum that occupied the building was split into the National Museum of Natural Sciences (eventually renamed the Canadian Museum of Nature) and the National Museum of Man (eventually renamed the Canadian Museum of Civilization), although both entities continued to share the same edifice. In 1989, the Canadian Museum of Civilization moved to a new location in Gatineau, Quebec, and the Canadian Museum of Nature was able to occupy the entire Victoria Memorial Museum Building.

Relax with a Rental Apartment at 171 O'Connor Street - Imperial Apartments


There are many different reasons that may make renting an apartment better than buying a house. If you are concerned about potential issues in the home ownership market from possible overheating, renting an apartment can provide a cost effective alternative, and help cut the risk that goes with home purchasing.

Renting provides a number of advantages over home ownership, particularly with respect to short lease terms (relative to mortgage periods) providing the flexibility to move. The ability to move offers advantages in career opportunities that may not exist, depending on local market conditions.

Cashflow is one of the largest factors as well, as you will require a sizable down payment. Monthly rental costs are typically lower than a typical mortgage after you factor in insurance, taxes and maintenance. Maintenance can be a particular issue, as you will be on the hook for all required maintenance, and may result in a number of trips to local Ottawa hardware stores to ensure that the property is in good repair. Further, when you “own” (you don’t actually own it until it is paid off…30 years from now) a home means that you are entirely responsible for everything that happens.

Apartment living offers can offer lifestyle benefits as well. The Imperial Apartments at 171 O’Connor offers significant amenities that may not be available in a single home, such as cameras and entrance access control, to a pool. Further, apartment buildings offer location advantages over many homes, with access to transportation and shopping that exist from the higher concentration of people in the area. With great access to entertainment and dining, a comparable experience in a mortgaged house would be at a significant premium over the rental costs.

Give us a call to experience the Imperial Apartments at 171 O’Connor for your own review! We have some space availability, and a great Ottawa location!
