Alternate Arrangements
Team Accommodations
Ottawa has a number of great hotels in the downtown and surrounding areas. Given that it is the long weekend and there are a number of local tournaments in the city that weekend, it is recommended that teams make their accommodation arrangements as soon as possible.
Team Meals
The culinary scene in Ottawa has come alive in recent years, with a thriving community of Ottawa chefs and Ottawa restaurants making names for themselves both at home and abroad. As one of Ontario’s designated culinary tourism destinations, the city, it's restaurants and its local food producers are all working together to bring locally-grown and prepared foods to tables across the region through an initiative called Savour Ottawa.
Ottawa restaurants are wonderfully diverse. In the mood for French, Italian, Chinese or seafood? Choose from scores of each. Craving something a little more unique and exotic? You’ll find it. Looking for more casual fare for lunch, a large group, or a quick snack? Check, check and check. Bon appetit!
Team Transportation
Teams are responsible for their own transportation. Ottawa is a major city with access to taxis, uber and public transit (OCTranspo buses and light rail). Car Rentals are available at the airport and throughout the city.
