Canadian Tire Centre

Canadian Tire Centre is Ottawa's primary large arena and the home of the Senators, making it the region's essential stop for arena-scale concerts despite its suburban Kanata location.

Canadian Tire Centre is in Kanata, well west of downtown Ottawa. Driving, event transit and rideshare are the main options; build in time for Highway 417 traffic and the large parking campus.

Standard entry is limited to small clutch/wallet styles under roughly 4" x 6" x 1.5". Backpacks, hard-sided bags and camera bags are prohibited; medical and diaper exceptions are screened.

If you are staying downtown, this is not a quick walkable arena trip. Plan the transportation both ways before the show, especially if you are relying on transit.
