The Bytown collection embodies the perfect blend of innovation and sustainability, while drawing inspiration from the rich history and dynamic culture of the city of Ottawa, formerly known as Bytown.
Each product in this collection is carefully designed using high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing techniques.
Named in honor of Colonel John By, Bytown served as a safe passage for trade between Ontario and Quebec. By 1857, a number of cities were vying for the title of capital. Queen Victoria chose Ottawa, largely because it lay between Montreal and Toronto, along the border between Ontario and Quebec (the center of Canada at the time).
His remarkable contribution to Canadian history remains an important part of the nation's heritage.
| The name "Ottawa" is derived from the Algonquin term "adawe," meaning to trade. The city, known at the time as Bytown, was later renamed Ottawa. |
