Plan Your VisitFrom parking to cycling and directions, we’ve got you covered.

Community & CultureOur community is constantly bustling with new events and places to explore. From incredible murals to walking tours, museums, and lively festivals, it’s Ottawa like you’ve never seen it before.

Centretown would like to acknowledge that Ottawa is built on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation.

The Anishinaabe Algonquin peoples have lived on this land since time immemorial. We recognize and deeply appreciate their historic connection to this place. We also recognize the contributions of Métis, Inuit, and other Indigenous peoples have made, both in shaping and strengthening this community in particular, and our province and country as a whole.
