Transit is the best option for travelling to Canada Day festivities downtown and across the city, with no-charge service all day on OC Transpo and Para Transpo. A special holiday schedule will run on July 1, with additional service during the day and after the fireworks. Only routes that normally run on Sundays will be in service, with the addition of Route 91 service to Orléans after the fireworks. Happy Canada Day from OC Transpo!

OC Transpo’s complimentary service will be in effect until the end of the service day at 4 am on Tuesday, July 2. O-Train Line 2, the Trillium Line, will run throughout the day and all evening until 12:15 am The Société de transport de l’Outaouais (STO) will also be providing service at no charge on July 1. For more information on STO service, visit sto.ca.

Thousands of Park & Ride spaces

  • Thousands of spaces will be available at 12 OC Transpo Park & Ride lots served by high-frequency Transitway routes 61, 62, 63, 94, 95, 97, 98 and 99.
  • Many more spaces will be available courtesy of these shopping centres: Billings Bridge and Carlingwood, as well as Algonquin College (lots 8, 9 and 12), Carleton University and Canada Post (Heron/Riverside).

Leave early and arrive in time

  • If you’re heading to the Noon Show on Parliament Hill, give yourself plenty of time.
  • You should leave home by 7 pm to arrive in time for the 10 pm fireworks display.
  • Bus detours will be in effect downtown due to road closures.
  • Mackenzie King Bridge will be closed to pedestrians after 7 pm, so customers cannot be picked up or dropped off at that station in the evening.
  • After the fireworks downtown, buses will be available on Slater Street, Albert Street, and Bank Street (south of Laurier.)
  • Route 91 service will run after the fireworks from downtown to Trim Station, providing a faster alternative to Orléans.
  • The last local buses will generally depart transit stations at around 12:30 am or 1 am.

Free Shuttle between Ottawa and Gatineau

  • Buses operate from 10 am to 6 pm between Major’s Hill Park, the Canadian Museum of History, and the Supreme Court.

  • OC Transpo’s Customer Service Centre in the Rideau Centre will be open from 10 am until 6 pm.
