Ottawa Particulars

So, here's Nichole's notes on Ottawa:

The bus is cheaper than the train, by far.

The bus leaves almost hourly from:
Station Cenrale d'Autobus Montreal
505 boulevard de Maisonneuve Est.
Montreal QC H2L4R6
(This is at Station Berri-UQAM)

We're going to carry bikes down in a truck. We'll ask you to get your bikes to a common location on Thursday morning. Ottawa is a great biking city and we'll be able to see three times as much in our two days in the city. It is a unique city in North America. It is the only purely Victorian city (made by Victoria) in North America. It is trés Anglais but on the edge of le Nouvelle France. When Ft-Worth and Austin were laid out Ottawa was becoming a capitol city.

The joke is that English Canada went from Victorian to Post-Modern directly.

Ottawa is the city of Dan Akroyd, Tom Green Alannis Morrisette, Peter Jennings, and others.

I got my professional degree there in the best architecture school building I've ever seen. Carleton's building is a unique construction made the very same year as our architecture building- 1966. We'll tour it as well.

The best bus to Ottawa is the Friday morning bus leaving Montréal at o6h00 and arriving in Ottawa at 08h20. From the station in Ottawa we'll pick you up at the bus station and take you to Carleton to get your accommodation and bicycle.

Saturday night you can get the 20h00 bus from Ottawa to Montréal and arrive at 22h20 in Montréal. You all should try to get on to the same bus.

I'm booking all of you for one night's room. You'll pay Wednesday or upon arrival.

Make sure to select student discount on the bus purchase. Everyone thaink Nichole for doing this research.
