  • The National Capital at Parliament Hill (Ottawa, ON) is 22 miles [35.4 km]<1> to the west northwest (WNW). If you could walk a straight line from St-Onge to Parliament Hill, with an average speed<2> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take just over a day to make the trip. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take most of a day.

Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- St-Onge) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'.
<2>While we have tried to pick reasonable speeds, the rate of travel is very theoretical - obstacles like fences, hills, lakes, river crossings and rest stops have been ignored. When we say 'Days' of travel, we're assuming 8 hours of travel per day.
<3>The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from St-Onge to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in St-Onge. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 45.2686, Longitude: -75.2942    
<4>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 306.189 degrees.
<5>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 302.54 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 301.135 degrees.
