Why you'd want to live in •Nepean

Nepean was a municipality adjacent to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada until it was amalgamated with the 10 other municipalities that formed the Regional Municipality of Ottawa Carleton in 2001 to become the new city of Ottawa. However Nepean as a sense of community still exists for its residents. As a suburban bedroom community, Nepean had been quite distinct from the old city of Ottawa and the regional government of Ottawa-Carleton. Nepean's policies of fiscal prudence contrasted with the fiscal philosophies of the other municipalities in the area. The city entered amalgamation with a large fiscal surplus and a record of tax restraint which was in sharp contrast to the large debt burden of the city of Ottawa and the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton. via academickids.com
