Orléans is located just minutes to the west of Parliament Hill and the bustling metropolis of downtown Ottawa. On its eastern doorstep is rural farmland where maple syrup is in abundance in the spring and the land is dotted with the church spires of small towns and villages.

Between these two solitudes, Orléans enjoys remarkable growth and offers incredible opportunities for business.

Known for its sweeping, tree-lined boulevards and friendly hospitality, it soon becomes apparent that Orléans is special—urban amenities with a rural attitude. With thriving sports and arts communities, shopping for every taste and budget—including one of the area’s largest shopping malls—Orléans is a great place to work and live. Add in the most beautiful beach in Eastern Ontario, Petrie Island, and there is never a shortage of things to do.
