About Carp
Carp is a historic rural village in west Ottawa, about 15 minutes past Kanata. It is surrounded by farms and country properties and is best known for the Carp Fair, the Carp Farmers' Market and the Diefenbunker Cold War museum.
Many seniors moving from Carp are leaving a larger country property for something smaller, while others move in to enjoy the quiet village life.
