BEC / NOV / 2025

Set to open in 2026, Ādisōke is among the major cultural projects currently underway in Canada. The 20,000-square-metre facility at LeBreton Flats will bring together Library and Archives Canada’s public services with Ottawa Public Library’s new Central branch, creating a shared space for learning, research, and community life in the heart of the capital. The name Ādisōke was gifted to the facility by the Anishinābe Algonquin Nation and means “the telling of stories” in Anishinābemowin Algonquin. “The word Ādisōke embodies the traditional means by which Indigenous peoples pass on knowledge, culture and history to future generations, and is something regarded with high importance in their culture,” says Craig Ginther, Division Manager at OPL. 104 NOV 2025 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
