University of Ottawa
Founded in 1848 as the College of Bytown by Bishop Joseph-Bruno Guigues, the University of Ottawa is the oldest and largest bilingual post-secondary institution in Canada. Under the direction of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate until 1965, it serves as a meeting ground for two of the most prominent intellectual and scientific traditions of the Western World. The University has always maintained special ties with Canada's Francophone population, most notably in the province of Ontario. Located in the heart of the nation's capital, the University of Ottawa illustrates Canada's commitment to diversity and mutual respect.
