Living in Embrun

Embrun is part of the larger Russell Township in the National Capital Region. Situated approximately 30 minutes southeast of downtown Ottawa, the Township consists of four communities: Embrun, Russell, Limoges and Marionville. The majority of its population resides in the villages of Russell (approximately 7000 residents) and Embrun (approximately 8000 residents).

Embrun is known for its rich culture of bilingualism. French- and English-speaking communities have coexisted here since the arrival of the first settlers in the first half of the 19th Century. Due to social and economic pressures in the Province of Quebec in the mid-1800s, a number of French Canadians moved to Ontario in search of prime agricultural land during that time.

Between 2001 and 2006, the population of Embrun increased by 26%, higher than any other community in the Ottawa region. Post-2006, its growth was slower, but still more than double the provincial average, growing at a rate of 12%.

Embrun Housing

Whether you're looking for a large lot with mature trees or a mobile home on a leased lot, Embrun has plenty of housing options. New homes, as well as older renovated homes dating back to the 1800s, are available in Embrun. The majority of the homes are owned, therefore few rentals are available in this area.

Embrun students typically go to elementary school locally, venturing to the nearby towns of Casselman and Russell for secondary school.
