Ottawa winters are colder and snowier than Toronto’s. Thanks to Lake Ontario, Toronto’s climate is slightly milder in winter. While both cities experience Canadian winters, the difference in snow removal, slush, and temperatures can influence how you experience daily life.
Ottawa offers greater access to open green space, walking trails, and the Gatineau Hills. Toronto has many city parks, but access to large outdoor recreation areas requires more planning. If outdoor time is essential for your well-being, this is a key point to consider.
You’ll need to decide between doing it yourself and hiring a professional moving company. The distance between Ottawa and Toronto is about 450 km, making it a long-distance move.
Though you are not crossing provincial lines when you move from Ottawa to Toronto, the move is still considered a long-distance move. The drive between the two cities is around 400 km and can take over a day to complete.
That’s a big advantage for you as the move is priced according to the total weight of the items you are moving rather than on an hourly basis. It means you don’t have to worry about rising costs if your movers get stuck in peak-hour traffic on the 401.
