As Canada’s capital and its fourth largest city, Ottawa offers a uniquely Canadian experience to visitors from around the world. From the welcome at the Ottawa International Airport (voted #1 in the world for customer satisfaction among airports serving 2-5 million customers/year) to the stunning new Ottawa Convention Centre (opened April 13, 2011) within walking distance of 6,000 hotel rooms, your delegates will be impressed!
A cosmopolitan yet surprisingly intimate G8 capital, Ottawa is a place where you can immerse yourself in Canadian culture, embrace the great outdoors even in the heart of the city, celebrate at year-round festivals, and shop and dine in a relaxed urban setting of distinctive neighborhoods.
Imagine a cocktail reception under the planes at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, a gala dinner among the totem poles at the Canadian Museum of Civilization, teambuilding programs that include a cooking course at the North American headquarters of Le Cordon Bleu, or a board meeting in the underground War Cabinet Room of the Diefenbunker, Canada’s Cold War Museum.
