Adobe Intern Community Guide - Ottawa

BARRHAVEN Barrhaven has experienced rapid growth in the last five years and is the most densely populated of Ottawa’s suburban communities. Just 20km southwest of downtown, it is a district situated between Highway 416 and the beautiful Rideau River. The area is a quiet suburban neighbourhood with good schools, great shopping choices, and all of the amenities families would need including a major athletic centre – the Walter Baker Sports Centre. The sports facility offers two ice hockey rinks, a swimming pool, a rock climbing wall, and an inflatable obstacle course.

BYWARDMARKET The historical Byward Market is one of Ottawa’s most popular tourist spots and liveliest neighbourhoods. It has five open-air cobblestoned courtyards filled with fountains, restaurants, bars, and shops. The district has one of Canada’s oldest farmer’s markets where local farmers sell their produce and vendors sell their handcrafted items. The area attracts many professionals, but its vibrant nightlife with street entertainment, live music, art galleries, and great eateries tends to bring in more tourists, students, and youth.

GOLDEN TRIANGLE The Golden Triangle community is an urban oasis steps away from downtown. It boasts a mix of beautiful heritage homes with architectural character, single-family dwellings, along with a variety of old and new condominium structures. Bordering Elgin Street is home to unique shops, galleries, and not to mention a variety of great restaurants, cafes, bars, and nightclubs.
