Hey Ottawa! Did you know that every June in Ottawa you can see a collection of buildings and locations otherwise not open to the public?
Doors Open Ottawa

| Doors Open Ottawa |
This year they have really upped their game. In addition to the more than 150 buildings that open their doors June 3rd and 4th, 2017, they've added:
- A photo contest (ends June 5th)
- An App for Android or iOS developed by students from the Algonquin college Mobile Application Design and Development program.
- An Interactive Map
- A Free Ottawa-Citizen Shuttle Bus that stops within walking distance of almost 70 of the participating Doors Open buildings.
- Escape Bicycle Tours are offering a Doors Open Bike Tour and bicycle rentals on Saturday June 3rd, weather permitting.
The 2017 Doors Open Ottawa buildings I most want to visit are:
- Bank of Canada
- Canadian Aviation and Space Museum Reserve Hanger
- Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
- Canadian Space Services
- Embassy of the United States
- Geological Survey of Canada Building
- National Research Council of Canada (NRC) Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering Facilities

Yep, just me Cathy thinking out loud about Doors Open Ottawa 2017.
I forgot about this! Wish I was able to attend this weekend as I've always wanted to see behind-the-scenes of some of these beautiful, and interesting, buildings. I'd love to see some of the same ones as you. Hope you get the chance to go, Cathy!
ReplyDeletePut it on your Calendar for next year Sandy. They always have great hideaways and interesting buildings. We always do it as a family.
DeleteI really need to pay closer attention to what is going on daily

ReplyDeleteI didn't know about this great event(s) but we will definitely try and fit it into our schedule next year. I like the Free shuttle idea and hope that we can park somewhere and bus in. Thanks for sharing. Besos Sarah.
