Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We have a large 3 bedroom home in Canada's Capital City: Quiet comfortable living with friendly neighbours located within a 15 minute drive to Ottawa, 2 hours to Montreal or Kingston and 4 & 1/2 hours to Toronto. Only 45 minutes to USA and state of New York.
Our home is less than 10 minutes from the Greenbelt, a 203 square kilometer area of wetlands, forests and fields - great for walks in the woods or hiking and bird watching or cross country skiing in the winter.
During summer time in Ottawa you may choose to attend the Ottawa-Caribbean carnival, (www.caribe-expo.ca), the Ottawa Folk festival (www.ottawafolk.org), daily Changing of the Guard ceremony on Parliament Hill (www2.parl.gc.ca), the sound of lights at Casino du Lac Lemay (www.feux.qc.ca), as well as many museums in the area, and the list goes on. www.ottawtourism.com.
Winter offers many events as well. Come to Winterlude, where three fun-filled weekends of excitement and activity await the whole family! From glittering ice carvings and majestic snow sculptures to a gigantic snow playground and explosive shows under the winter sky, Winterlude is a great way to celebrate and enjoy the winter season. Experience the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world's largest skating rink. All this and much more await you during Winterlude, Canada's winter celebration (http://www.ottawafestivals.ca/tag/winterlude/).
Located just minutes from Parliament Hill across the Ottawa River in Gatineau, Gatineau Park is 361 square kilometres of natural wilderness. In winter, the park features cross-country and downhill skiing.
Montreal also offers many activities in all seasons. You will NOT be disappointed.
