Adjacent east-end neighbourhoods Cumberland and Orléans benefit from a strong Francophone community and are 20 minutes’ drive from downtown Ottawa. The communities border each other along Tenth Line Road. Both communities enjoy easy access to Innes Road and its many stores, as well as Place d’Orléans shopping centre. The recent creation of the Orléans Health Hub is another exciting development for the communities. This hub is a collaboration between facilities including CHEO (the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario), the Montfort Hospital, Bruyère, and others.
