YAY Grade 9 Geography.
Every province and territory have respective capitals.
Ontario - Toronto
Quebec - Quebec City
Alberta - Edmonton
British Columbia - Victoria ... and so on and so forth ...
Ottawa is the FEDERAL capital of Canada. Located there is the Federal Government (i.e. Parliament) and at this level is conducted all matters of business that affect the country as a whole. At the provincial level (i.e. Toronto - Queen's Park) only matters that involve the provincial level are dealt with (education, health care, etc.)
The location of Ottawa is coincidental. It could be in Nunavut.
This is much like how in the States, Washington D.C. is the federal capital.
Washington D.C. (District of Columbia) which encompasses parts of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia - all of which also have their own respective capitals.
Maryland - Annapolis
Virginia - Richmond
West Virginia - Charleston
Hope this helps

Actually, there is a big reason why the capital is where it is...
I'm just saying that if the same of all those reasons applied to another province, it would be coincidental that say Edmonton and Ottawa were both in Alberta. Or St. John's and Ottawa both in Newfoundland. I just interpreted the question as asking why 2 'capitals' were in the same province.
Because after all, Nunavut has a capital too.

you may have heard the terms "North York," "Etobicoke," etc.... those are former cities within the old Metro Toronto... now unified in the City of Toronto
