Travel and Site Information
The AGM will be at the EY Centre, a conference centre near the Ottawa airport. This is a fully wheelchair accessible facility. Our meeting will take place in the south end of the building. (The end closest to the Hilton Garden Inn and Fairfield Inn and Suites). The EY Centre is a large facility, so we will be sure to have greeters and a registration table near the entrance.
Full address: The EY Centre, 4899 Uplands Drive Ottawa ON K1V 2N6
For those coming from the Chalk River to Arnprior area: A bus is in the works and will be a fun, simple and eco-friendly way to the travel to the meeting
For those coming from within Ottawa/Gatineau (or who are taking Via Rail or parking at a “Park and Ride” lot): The EY Centre is easily accessible by public transit. It is serviced by Line 4 (the new LRT line to the airport) via Uplands Station and by several bus routes. If you save receipts, we are happy to cover ticket fees for public transit just as we cover travel expenses by car.
For those who are driving: We encourage you to consider carpooling if possible. Carpooling can be a great way to make new friends (or deepen existing friendships), create links between churches and care for the earth. We offer a per-kilometre rate for travel expenses, with a little extra offered for those driving a carpool. Parking at the EY Centre is $10 per car, so carpooling will also cut down on costs.
Is the AGM also celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the United Church of Canada
We are hosting a special 100th Anniversary celebration on Sunday, June 15th. It will also take place at the EY Centre. We are inviting all communities of faith in EOORC to attend (and to bring along their friends, family and neighbours!) More details here.
