Library of Parliament.

Ironically, the Canadian Library of Parliament – a room full of paper – was the only part of the original Parliament building that wasn’t burnt down in the fire of 1916, due to it being detached from the main building with the connection being via metal doors which were closed at the time.

During one month in autumn, Ottawa puts on a free shuttle service through Gatineau Park so that people can enjoy Fall Rhapsody; the colour change of the trees across the city which results in a wide range of autumn colours and possibly the best time to visit. The Ottawa winter is harsh though and the park shuts down some time after Fall Rhapsody for some months.
