Participate in the fourth edition of Open NCC, where we will offer a unique, behind-the-scenes look at the projects and daily activities shaping the National Capital Region.
Join us for a day of discovery at sites in Ottawa and Gatineau. Explore the work of the NCC and its partners in architecture, urban planning, landscape design, environmental revitalization, species-at-risk protection, and much more.
📅 Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 10 am to 3 pm
We offer guided tours, expert presentations, engaging booths and live entertainment. Most activities are drop-in friendly, though some tours will require advance registration.
