Why choose Blackburn Hamlet as your residential community of choice. The Hamlet is closer to downtown Ottawa than almost all the "new" suburbs (only a 10 minute drive), yet offers an old-fashioned country village feeling rarely found in neighbourhoods today. This community is connected end to end via a series of treed parks and bike paths. Blackburn Hamlet is pedestrian friendly and offers all modern amenities within no more than a 10 minute walk from most homes. Those include: grocery store, medical, dental & legal practices, drug stores, several pubs and restaurants, banks, service stations, convenience stores, pizza delivery, video rental, dry cleaners, pawn shop and a local Tim Horton’s.
The community of Blackburn is the home of 2 seniors’ residences, public, catholic and French schools, private schools and day-cares, many baseball diamonds, soccer fields, indoor arena and several outdoor rinks, large community centre, public library, outdoor pool, tennis courts, 11 children's play parks, and access to the Ottawa Regional bike paths. There is a host of activities and amateur intramural sports available as well.
Blackburn Hamlet is represented at city council but there is active community volunteer involvement as well through the Blackburn Community Association (BCA). Many activities, clubs, events and committees are run through the BCA.
