About this Event
OCCH Community Bus Tours
Date & Time: November 26, 2026 at 9:00 AM (ET)
Start & End Point: Rideau Community Hub, Saint Laurent Boulevard, Ottawa, ON, Canada
Join us for a day exploring Ottawa’s Community Houses across the city! Starting at the Rideau Community Hub, you’ll hop on one of three buses to visit a mix of 16 Community Houses in different neighbourhoods.
You’ll get to meet staff and community members, learn about local programs, and see firsthand how these hubs support everything from food security to newcomer services. The routes are designed to give you a broad view of Ottawa’s diverse communities and the unique role each Community House plays.
There’s no group lunch stop, so each bus can keep things moving and spend more time connecting with the neighbourhoods. By the end of the day, all buses return to the Rideau Hub.
It’s a great chance to see the real impact of these neighbourhood hubs and build stronger connections with the people behind the work.
