Ottawa is the capital city of Canada and the majority of the economics is centred around the public sector and the industries that support it. In addition, areas like Kanata are well-known for high-technology industries. At 813,000 people, Ottawa is the 4th largest metropolitan area in Canada. All this activity means a steadily-growing new home building sector in Ottawa. In addition, because of the transient nature of diplomats, public servants and government officials, home renovations is a big industry for Ottawa.
Another big industry for the area is tourism as hundreds of thousands of people visit Ottawa's unique showcases like the Parliament Buildings and the Canadian War Museum. This activity also creates demand for home remodelers and new home builders, as well as other construction trades.
