OTTAWA — The City of Ottawa marked a population milestone Monday as it announced 900,000 residents live in this community.

All boundary signs have been updated to reflect the new total and a new sign will be placed on Booth Street between Ottawa and Gatineau, the city says.

Since 2001, Ottawa’s population has grown by about 12 per cent with the addition of 103,000 new citizens. It is anticipated that by 2031 Ottawa will have more than 1.1 million people and will be at the centre of a metropolitan area of more than 1.7 million people.

“This marks a significant milestone for the City of Ottawa,” said Mayor Larry O’Brien. “With our rich history and culture, abundant recreational facilities and pathways, strong economy and vibrant people, it is no surprise that more individuals and businesses are choosing to call Ottawa home.”
