Experience Pontiac

Guests from around the world come to take in our exceptional landscapes, visit our tourist sites, enjoy outdoor activities or just take a break from the daily grind and hectic pace of the city to find tranquility and relaxation in the countryside. Feel the soothing influence of great open spaces gently enveloping your mind and body. The fragrant smells, sounds and lure of nature will soothe your inner spirit and reawaken your senses. As you gaze upon the river, visualize a time 400 years ago when Champlain sailed the Ottawa exploring new lands. This is our history; this is our land; welcome to Pontiac!
