Straight-line distance to Parliament Hill is 17.4 km. The road distance is 22.3 km, about 26 minutes free-flow with no traffic, so rush hour will take longer.
OpenStreetMap lists Nepean Woods, Strandherd, Longfields Stn and Riverview Park & Ride as transitway stations, and Barrhaven Centre and Longfields as O-Train stations. Wikipedia's Barrhaven text still says rail to Barrhaven was not expected until after 2031, so confirm current service with OC Transpo.
