About the 613 area code
Area code 613 covers Ottawa, Ontario and eastern Ontario, including Kingston, Cornwall, Belleville, Brockville, and Pembroke. It is one of Canada's original area codes from 1947 and has been the capital's number for its entire history. Ottawa residents treat 613 as the local code, distinct from the 819 numbers across the river in Gatineau. It carries a certain institutional weight in a city where government, tech, and professional services drive much of the economy.
A business with a 613 number tells Ottawa and eastern Ontario customers it is local, which matters in a market where many residents screen out unfamiliar codes. It works just as well in Kanata, Orleans, and Nepean as it does downtown. The 343 and 753 overlays share the same territory and customers see them as local too, but 613 is the code that reads as established. Consultants and contractors working with federal clients tend to prefer it.
