National Capital Region (Canada)
The National Capital Region is an official designation for what used to be called Ottawa/Hull and is now sometimes called Ottawa/Gatineau, effectively one city but on two sides of the Ottawa river and therefore of the Ontario/Quebec border in Canada.
Cities
It has two parts:
- the area around Ottawa in Eastern Ontario
- the area around Gatineau in the Outaouais region of Quebec
Other destinations
Understand
This is not a separately administered capital region like the US District of Columbia or the Australian Capital Territory. There has been some discussion of giving it that status, but it has not gone anywhere yet and seems unlikely to do so. The two parts are administered separately by their respective municipal and provincial governments.
