"Approximately 1.3 million people reside in the valley (and along its tributaries), around 80% of whom reside in Ottawa, the remainder on the north side of the Ottawa River, in Quebec." So according to this, 80% of the valley population lives in Ottawa, and the other 20% live north of the Ottawa River in Quebec. This is entirely incorrect. I'm going to delete the second half of that sentence in a few days for being incredibly wrong if nobody fixes it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.248.244.18 ( talk) 15:12, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
The article Ottawa Valley Twang should be shortened to a couple a paragraph and added to this article. I have been able to find very little information regarding it other than a couple of sentences stating people who live in the Ottawa Valley speak differently than people in Ottawa.-- Kelapstick 12:07, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
You probably haven't found much about it because many valley-folk aren't necessarily frequent Internet users. It's quite a real linguistic phenomenon and so is certainly worthy of its own page on Wikipedia.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.241.30.232 ( talk • contribs) 00:39, 21 November 2007

Definitely agree on the merger proposal as the main article is a good home for people looking for info re: the Valley, including their manner of speech if it can be sourced. Travellingcari ( talk) 18:06, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Should this article be merged into the Ottawa-Bonnechere Graben article? The Ottawa Valley is really part of the rift valley system. Black Tusk 19:32, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Definately don't merge them!! It is a real 'Ottawa Vally Twang'! not an ottawa bonnechere graben twang. I will look for some real references, my friend studies accent reduction and has used the ov twang as a lesson. Anyway, the twang exists and it has the right name. The article does need some work though.

Mistakenly hit enter before entering an edit summary. The following passage was removed - "In 1865 the township of Petawawa was incorporated because of its rich natural resources and its important military role. It wasn't until Canada Day 1997 that it was recognized as the Town of Petawawa." The base wasn't created until 1905, so incorporation had nothing to do with the military. 1997 saw the amalgamation of the Village and Township of Petawawa, not its "recognition."
