Ice fog. Chilly.

With Ottawa's Silicon Valley North high-tech sector, burgeoning ethnic population, two universities, expanding nightlife, scrumptious international food and progressive outlook, it's a city that is looking ahead.
An abundance of museums and cultural activities is another enticement that helps attract the five million tourists who arrive each year. And with generous green spaces, exceptional recreational trails and air unfouled by heavy industry you'll notice people walking, jogging and cycling everywhere.
Suggested Itineraries in Ottawa
A bizarre, little-known quirk worth seeing is the stray-cat sanctuary, with dollhouse-like shelters. It's on Parliament Hill between the West Block and Centre Block, toward the river. Some say loftily that it represents the Canadian ideal of welcoming and caring for the world's needy, but then again, maybe it's just nutty.
The Canadian Ski Museum has a small, specialized exhibit with a collection of equipment, clothing, photographs and memorabilia outlining Canadian ski history.
