Getting there
12 km (7.5 mi) separates ByTowne Cinema from Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
2.3 km (1.4 mi) out from the middle of Ottawa — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.
Ottawa has 66 venues mapped in total and a population of 1,017,449. The Ottawa guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
Think of it as one room in a bigger plan: a training day, a members' evening, a committee that needs to be in the same place. It is 7th of 66 venues mapped in Ottawa.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
- community meetings
Room for 650 covers most community and member meetings.
