The museum of civilization is worth a visit too. It's really well done. The history of Canada bit on the top floor is amazing. You wander through a chunk of ships hold, and later in the port you can see the bow of the ship you've walked through against the sky.
Well obviously it's not the sky, but when they've recreated all these scenes from Canada's past they've put the thought in, that a concrete roof just wouldn't match, so light it up to look like the sky at a glance.
The whole place is really well thought out.
But I see why you don't go to Ottawa all the time. It's tiny, and the distances between Canadian cities is on a different scale to England.
