Do You Speak Ottawan?(An excerpt from Ottawa Tourism’s LetsGoOttawa.ca blog.Read the whole entry at:http://letsgoottawa.ca/2010/11/02/do-you-speak-ottawan)If you’re a visitor to Ottawa, you mightnot recognize everything that comesout of a local’s mouth. Here’s a guideto some unique-to-Ottawa expressionsthat you might find useful!GEOGRAPHYSome of the expressions aregeographical in nature. You shouldknow, for instance, that “The Hill”refers to Parliament Hill, home of theHouse of Commons and Senate andthe core of Canadian democracy.Parliament Hill“The Market” refers to the ByWardMarket – not just a building, or a oneortwo-day-a-week farmers’ market,but a whole neighbourhood. Boundedroughly by Sussex Drive, Murray Street,Dalhousie Street and George Street,“the Market” is home to a 363-daya-yearoutdoor market; shops andboutiques; 120+ bars, restaurants andother places to eat and drink; and athriving residential district.ByWard MarketIf you listen to a traffic report, you’ll hearmention of “The Queensway” butthey’re really referring to the main eastwestthoroughfare–Highway 417. “TheSplit” refers to the segment in the eastend where Highway 174 splits off tohead to the neighbourhood of Orléanswhile the 417 continues through easternOntario and the Québec border.“The Château” (often pronouncedmore like “shadow”) refers to theFairmont Château Laurier. “The Canal”can only refer to the UNESCO WorldHeritage Site, the Rideau Canal. And“LeBreton Flats” is the area justoutside the Canadian War Museumthat is also hosts the fabulousCisco Ottawa Bluesfest each July.LeBreton FlatsBefore 2003, the downtown areaacross the Ottawa River fromdowntown Ottawa was the City of“Hull”. But following an amalgamationof several Québec municipalities, thecorrect name is now Gatineau, thoughmany still refer to Hull (or at least the“Hull sector” of Gatineau).Ottawa went through a similaramalgamation of 11 municipalities tocreate a new, larger City of Ottawa in2001. You’ll still hear people refer to“Kanata,” “Nepean,” “Vanier,” and“Rockcliffe Park,” among others, thatused to be separate municipalities.LOOKING AHEAD TO SUMMERTIME!Calypso Theme Waterpark opened just east of Ottawa last June as a seasonalattraction and what a season it had! The hot sticky summer was ideal for waterparkvisits and the park attracted thousands!Now they’re building 10 new waterslides for the 2011 season, including NorthAmerica’s tallest free-standing waterslide tower (total height: 90 feet or 27m). One—the AquaLoop—starts in a small compartment with a drop floor, launching the visitorinto a vertical drop that also includes a 2.5G loop! www.calypsopark.comOTTAWA TOURISMWINS BIG AT ONTARIOTOURISM AWARDSOttawa Tourism and local food initiativeSavour Ottawa were each namedwinners at the Ontario Tourism Awardsin November 2010, capturing the goldaward for Best Tourism Advertisingand the Culinary TourismLeadership Award respectively.The awards were presented at theannual Ontario Tourism Summit,hosted by the Ontario TourismMarketing Partnership Corporation(OTMPC) and the Tourism IndustryAssociation of Ontario (TIAO).For even more information on intriguing Ottawa activities, please contact Jantine Van Kregten, Director of Communications, Ottawa Tourism613-237-5150, ext. 116 • 800-363-4465 • media@ottawatourism.ca • www.ottawatourism.ca

Model 100 Series CPF SystemsOur CPF Model 100 series are standard horizontalsystems with a compact design, ideal for applicationswith low flow rates and/or limited space.
