Ottawa is commonly misspelled as Ottowa. It's Ottawa, and it is a word derived from Algonquin
Ottawa is not that small. It is the national capital of Canada, located in the province of Ontario on the unceded territory of the Anishinabe-Algonquin Nation. It is one of the largest cities in Canada, the second largest in Ontario after Toronto. Its population is a little over a million people (1.02 million in 2021).
Ottawa is connected by bridges over the Ottawa River to a city in Quebec called Gatineau (the Gat), some amenities are shared between the two cities and public transit crosses over between the two. The legal drinking age in Quebec is 18, so a lot of high school seniors like to hop over the river to party.
Most people in Ottawa speak either English or French, and some speak both or a little bit of both. Labels, street signs and advertisements are all in both languages. It’s majority English speakers, but this depends on the part of the city, EX. Gatineau is French-dominant.
Ottawa is actually multiple cities in a trench coat, they share amenities, politics and schools, but sometimes their addresses remain, depending on the documentation (which is not confusing at all). Notable cities include Nepean and Orléans, but there are others
Ottawa has a very poor nightlife, things close down early in the night, the club scene is lacking, and the offers of public transit are awful, especially at night.
The public transit (OCtranspo) has made international news with how bad it is. More on that in a later post.
There are two universities in Ottawa, University of Ottawa (uOttawa) which is in the downtown area, and Carleton University, which is near Little Italy. There is also a college (equivalent to a community college for my fellow americans) called Algonquin College (affectionately known as the gonq or gonq).
There are many sports teams in Ottawa given it is the capital of Canada, the Ottawa Senators are the NHL team (they suck) as of 2023 the Ottawa Charge are the PWHL team (they’re great!!), the 67s are their juniors team, there are other sports but that would need its own post tbh, plus I only really care about hockey :p
There are a lot of Senators fans in Ottawa, and people who aren't Senators fans usually come from a family who have been fans of the NHL since before the founding of the Senators, or who don't originate from Ottawa. Most often you'll see fans of Montréal and Toronto, but I've seen fans of all the Canadian teams around here, as well as some of the Northeastern teams like Boston or New York. The biggest beef is with the Leafs (Toronto).
Ottawa tends to butt heads with Toronto a lot, with Montréal a close second.
Ottawa is extremely multicultural, there are a lot of immigrants and those who are first (like me!) or second generation. Plus a very large Lebanese and Chinese population. I can write a whole post on that so I won't get too much into it, but Ottawa has a lot of variety in culture.
It is simultaneously very cold and very hot. It goes from -40 to 40C (-40 to 104F) in its extreme. Usually the range is smaller than that, but we'll write a post on Ottawa's weather shortly. The cold months get similar to the temperatures seen in Moscow.
Like Boston, we think our city is awful, but we're proud to be from it.
ALSO— since there were so many questions about ottawa on my previous post, my friends and i have joined forces to create a heated rivalry info blog! @heatedrivalryinfo
i’ll be jumping on as one of the ambassadors of ottawa to answer any burning questions or curiosities you may have about my little hometown :) check out our blog if you wanna know more and please leave us an ask!!
Hello! As stated in our description, this blog’s purpose is to make research easier and information more accessible for Heated Rivalry fanartists, fanfic writers, and other fanwork creators, particularly where the main cities in the Game Changers universe are concerned!
Our ask-box is OPEN but it may take some time to get back to you.

o there’s nothing rn.
Mods
mod érable - questions about montréal, québec, and canadian french - @thegentlemanstar
mod molasses - questions about boston and new england - @diwata-nation
mod beigli - questions about ottawa, hockey, immigration and a bit about eastern europe - @mudwizardbignaturals
unfortunately i don’t think i will be drawing more marauders art any time soon for two reasons, 1) i don’t have much interest in it anymore and 2) i experienced a lot of poor treatment by other people this fandom and so did many of my artist friends.
i know you probably mean well, but i would appreciate not getting any more asks/comments like this in the future please.
hiiiiii i’ve been thinking about this for a while. i’m from montréal & i love heated rivalry and it means a lot to me for my city to be represented in any capacity and i would love to help people do it accurately. i want to start a heated rivalry information/research blog to help people (for example fanfiction writers) in their heated rivalry-related projects, but i don’t want to do it alone.
what i would be looking for in other mods :
heated rivalry fan (obviously)
18+
from boston, ottawa, or new york
has read the books ideally (i can also get them to you)
at least basic knowledge about hockey ideally
the time and energy to participate in this project (by which i don’t mean it’s a full-time job this is a silly little tumblr boo but i don’t want it to be completely inactive either)
i was thinking the blog would be twofold : basic information masterposts about cities, provinces, states, etc and answering asks when more specific information is needed. if you’re interested DM me or send me an ask :]
if you’re not interested in modding but you think this blog would be helpful please reblog so it has a higher likelyhood of existing thank you <3
hi i just found your blog first of all love your art !! second i saw on your hollanov post you told people to let you know if they had questions about ottawa. well. i have a suggestion. no pressure whatsoever of course but i believe we would be more powerful if we united our forces
OMGG i would love to do this!! this is such a good idea!! im on board to be ambassador of ottawa lol :)
