What Confederation Park is

It stands at corner of Elgin Street and Laurier Avenue, right in the centre of Ottawa.

Confederation Park was opened in 1967 and owned by National Capital Commission, which puts it at 59 years old.

No seated capacity is published. The recorded footprint is 283,091 sq ft, which is the outline of the building rather than usable exhibition space, so treat it as an upper bound and ask the venue for a room-by-room sheet.

Getting there

Allow half an hour each way to Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW), 11 km (6.8 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.

It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.

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

This is a room for a workshop, a chapter meeting, a training day or one track of a larger programme. Anything with an exhibition attached needs a second space.

  • 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.

What already runs here

  • Ottawa International Jazz Festivalmusic festival, since 1980

Recorded in Wikidata, which covers event series with an encyclopaedia entry. The venue's own calendar is the authority on availability.
