The inspiration for Little Miss Ottawa is her love for travel. When she visits a new city she always tries and sees and does as much as she can. This made her think, why isn't she doing this at home? This started her adventures as Little Miss Ottawa and her conscious effort to see Ottawa through travelers’ eyes. In this feature, Julia Weber takes us on her adventures through photos and how it all began.
Born at the confluence of three great rivers, Ottawa has evolved from humble rustic beginnings, into a bustling lumber town and now a thriving metropolis with an easy cosmopolitan vibe. With its rich history, unique geography, and diverse arts, culture and people, Canada’s capital has much to offer for visitors and those who call it home. It is a city of more than one million people, steeped in culture, alive with celebration, and an urban centre on the edge of nature.
