Description

Lansdowne Park is one of the prime locations for live performances and trade shows in Ottawa. More than 65 million visitors have visited this site. It is also the venue for the annual Central Canada Exhibition (SuperEx). The main aim of this venue is to cater to all age groups and become a multi-purpose sports and entertainment center. Some of the facilities here include exhibition halls, an assembly hall, Aberdeen pavilion and the Civic Centre Theatre. These facilities are available for public events and can accommodate small and huge groups of people.
