About Ottawa

Ottawa is a great city for tourists and residents alike. There are many things to do and see. The conference is being held in June (late Spring). The snow is gone, and temperatures are in the low to high teens (e.g. 55 to 66 F). The Canadian Tulip Festival will have recently finished, and there will still be lots of tulips around Ottawa.
