Get on the Bus

Nice town, Ottawa. It was one of the first places my family discovered when we moved to the North Country during the Seaway boom. I've been returning regularly ever since, and have never run out of new things to do, or old favorites to try again. Canada is a great reality check for a US citizen, demonstrating as it does that high culture does not need to be coupled with arrogance, that prosperity is not inextricable from rapacious greed, that cities don't require "combat zones" to achieve skyscrapers, and that civility looks pretty good on most people. If you have lived this long in northern New York and have never been to Ottawa--give NCPR a call. Our February 9 bus trip should be a great time. See "In Your Community" below for more details.
