TRAVEL INFORMATION
Getting to Ottawa
If you’re arriving by air, you’ll most likely be flying into Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport (YOW), located 20 minutes from downtown Ottawa. Upon arrival, you’ll find everything you need, including tourist information and various options for making your way to the heart of the city: car rentals and public transportation. If you take a taxi, a trip downtown will cost you around $50, tip not included.
The VIA Rail network connects many major cities to Ottawa. For information on fares and schedules, visit https://www.viarail.ca/en/plan/faq/fares-and-schedules.
Travelling
While planning for this year’s conference in Ottawa, we look for opportunities to reduce environmental impacts by making more sustainable travel choices. The table below highlights the significant emissions savings achieved by choosing driving or rail over flying for common routes:
| Route (round trip) | Drive (kg CO₂e) | Train (kg CO₂e) | Fly (kg CO₂e) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toronto → Ottawa (900 km) | 315 | 86 | 102 |
| Montreal → Ottawa (400 km) | 140 | 36 | 65 |
| Quebec City → Ottawa (900 km) | 315 | 88 | 115 |
Choosing lower-carbon transportation options can make a meaningful difference as we work together to reduce the conference’s overall footprint.
