The Canada Science and Technology Museum (which opened after renovations just over a year ago) will open its Collection Conservation Centre next door starting in 2019. The centre holds the majority of the museum’s artifacts and will offer guided tours. Back downtown, the new memorial to the victims of communism is expected to open near Library and Archives Canada on Wellington Street.

Performing Arts The Capital’s premier performing arts venue, the National Arts Centre, presents a full lineup of music, dance and theatre, plus popular touring acts and shows. Ottawa also has a thriving local theatre scene, including the Great Canadian Theatre Company, Ottawa Little Theatre, The Gladstone and La Nouvelle Scène.

The long-awaited new temporary House of Commons, located in the West Block courtyard, will open to the public. And, just down Rideau Street, the former Government Conference Centre inside Ottawa’s former train station will reopen as the temporary home of the Senate, marking the first time in a generation that the historic building will be accessible to the public.
