:::::::::Embrun Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Picture of the New York Central Recreational Trail Picture of the New York Central Recreational Trail FreshFruitsRule Embrun is a small city in Ontario, Canada, located 30 minutes southeast of Ottawa, the national capital of Canada. Indeed, Embrun is located in Canada's National Capital Region. The town has a population of about 8,000. The town got its name from the town of Embrun in the Hautes-Alpes region of France. Part or or all of this text stems from the original article at: self-work ______History Edit This In 1845, a small village called Saint Augustine-de-Catherine was founded along the shores of the Castor River. This town was situated in the midst of a huge forest, so forestry was the main industry. In 1856, the St. Jacques Church in Embrun was built, which still stands to this day. The same day it was built, Saint Augustine-de-Catherine changed its name to Embrun. The Lumber Industry thrived in the new Embrun until the 1870s, when deforestation in the area became too prominent for continued forestry. Instead, the town relied on farming. The town had a population of 6,000 in 1900. However, the Great Depression caused many people to move away from Embrun to look for work in the cities. The town had just 3,000 people by 1940. Things stayed the same from 1939 all the way to the early 1980s, when a small village nearby called St. Onge became part of Embrun. At the same time, new homes were being built. This boosted the population up to 4,200 by 1990. The past 10 years have seen a tremendous population increase in Embrun. The population was 5,700 by 2000, and from there the population doubled to 11,500 in just six years. Even now, the population is still growing. ________Practical Information Edit This Climate Although Embrun is situated in Canada, which has a reputation for being very cold, Embrun is located in Southern/Eastern Ontario, which arguably has the warmest and driest weather in Canada. Summers in Embrun usually last about 5-6 months long, and winters are about 4-4 1/2 months long. Autumn and spring are very short (especially Autumn). The first snowfalls of the year usually occur in mid-to-late November, but snow doesn't actually cover the ground until December. Before that, snow usually melts as soon as it hits the ground. In the spring, the snow usually starts melting in March, although occasional "warm breaks" with temperatures as high as 10°C (50°F) usually occur once or twice in January and February. In recent years, winters have gotten much warmer, so often in the winter freezing rain will occur, when it is not warm enough for rain but not cold enough for snow. Freezing rain is basically raining ice pellets, which makes driving very hazardous and often closes down schools and makes the roads very icy for a few days. In the summer, humidity is often common, especially in July. Although temperatures are usually just under 30°C (86°F), with the humidity it can feel as hot as 35°C or higher. Average Afternoon Temperatures Per Month: January: -6°C/21°F February: -5°C/23°F March: 5°C/41°F April: 14°C/57°F May: 20°C/68°F June: 24°C/75°F July: 29°C/84°F August: 29°C/84°F September: 23°C/73°F October: 19°C/66°F November: 7°C/45°F December: -5°C/23°F (Statistics based on temperatures in Eastern Ontario, where Embrun is, over the course of 2000-2005) Contributors July 26, 2006 change by freshfruitsrule (4 points) __________Getting Around Edit This A map of the town of Embrun can found at http://prescott-russell.on.ca/documents/alacarte/map_embrun.pdf (note: that file is a pdf file, so you need adobe acrobat reader to view it) By car Getting around Embrun by car is easy. Most of the town's tourist-related buildings and areas are accessible off the main road, called Notre-Dame Street. On foot While harder, one can get around Embrun on foot. The business park area in the western part of the town (near where Exit 88 hooks up with Embrun) has many stores fairly close together. However, walking from the western part of the town to the eastern part of the town can take almost an hour. By bicycle Traveling around Embrun by bicycle is quite convinent. In the western part of the town, a bike trail links several streets. In the central part of the town, a pedestrian lane on the side of Blais Street hooks up with the bike trail. From there, one can travel on Centenaire Street, a relatively traffic-free road, to get to the eastern part of the town. Bicycle rentals are available at Vélo Xpress, located at 968 Notre-Dame Street. Vélo Express can be reached at 1-613-443-5500. __________Getting There Edit This There is pretty much only one way to get to Embrun: By car.

Contributors August 01, 2006 change by giorgio [Add Activity] New York Central Recreational Trail Edit This Picture of the New York Central Recreational Trail Picture of the New York Central Recreational Trail photo by: FreshFruitsRule This is a long, beautiful recreational trail that is named because a branch of the New York Central Railroad used to pass through Embrun, but then when the company went out the municipality bought the rail bed and turned into a bike path. Walking or biking down the path can be a wonderful and relaxing experience, but bugs are abundant, so be sure to bring insect repellent with you on the trail. type: Trekking World66 rating: [rate it] accessibility: Accessible from the Central Part of Embrun tel: none url: none email: none
