Ottawa is the high-tech centre of Canada. Opportunities for collaborations
with
government labs and the private sector abound. Carleton is close to the
Ottawa
International Airport and schools, hospitals, parks, and other amenities are

excellent. Ottawa has a rich cultural life; every year there is a blues
festival, a jazz festival, a folk festival, a film festival, a spring tulip
festival, Winterlude (a winter carnival), and the world's largest chamber
music
festival. Canada's main cultural institutions are located in Ottawa,
including
the National Gallery, the world-famous Museum of Civilization, and the
National
Arts Centre with its excellent orchestra. The city also has 'the longest
skating
rink in the world' (over seven km long) and is Canadian centre for
cross-country
skiing. The nearest downhill ski area is a twenty minute drive away in the
picturesque Gatineau Hills.
