Ottawa TCA ring size?
Is there a reason the class C ring is not labelled with a distance from CYOW? YYZ’s is clearly marked as 26nm. The mode C ring for CYOW is labelled at 45nm but the more important Class C TCA distance is left to my ruler technique?

Probably because it's not as simple as a ring. Look at the VTA and you'll see that it's pretty complicated with the different airspace classifications at various altitudes depending on where you are in the area.

The authoritative document is the Designated Airspace Handbook, available for free on the Nav Canada website.
The current one is available at https://www.navcanada.ca/en/dah20230810.pdf
The detailed description of the Ottawa TCA starts on Page 96.

Well there’s the answer: outer Class C ring is 24miles around CYOW. How did I miss that? Page 96 of the DAH needs to be on the lap of every VFR pilot in the area!
