HERITAGE OTTAWA

The National Capital Commission (NCC) has created a fresh Capital experience to celebrate 150 years of Confederation.

Visitors can experience an architectural journey through time—from the settlement era in the 1820s to the contemporary capital—by visiting 10 special buildings that will be open to the public as Confederation Pavilions for special programs, exhibitions and events presented by the NCC's partners.

Many of these heritage treasures are rarely open to the public. Access dates and times vary so check the individual links for more information.
