In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, the Citizen is rolling out one fact each day for 150 days until July 1, highlighting the odd, the fascinating and the important bits of Ottawa history you might not know about.

Regardless of which region they represent, there’s a strict living requirement for the nine Supreme Court of Canada judges. The Supreme Court Act provides that three of the nine judges are appointed from Quebec. Traditionally, three are appointed from Ontario, two from the West and one from the Atlantic provinces. All, however, are required to live within 40 km of the National Capital Region.
