Indigenous gardens and a gathering circle will extend the facility’s purpose outdoors, linking it to its natural and cultural setting. Wayfinding throughout the building will feature Anishinābemowin Algonquin alongside French and English, underscoring the facility’s commitment to reconciliation and accessibility. PROGRESS ON CONSTRUCTION Construction, led by PCL Constructors Canada Inc., is at an intricate phase and is already transforming LeBreton Flats, with visible progress evident inside and out. “The year ahead will be filled with activity and excitement as we build momentum toward the grand opening,” says Tara Blasioli, Manager of Ādisōke at the City of Ottawa. “Finishing touches continue on the roof, while intricate wood and stonework are adding character to the façade of the landmark facility. Solar panels have been installed along the exterior walls. Some days they may appear bright and iridescent, while others they look darker and matte.” Within the building, trades are installing custom millwork, curved glass walls, and advanced electrical and mechanical systems. The central atrium, designed to flood the space with daylight, is taking shape as one of the facility’s most distinctive features. ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL BENEFITS When complete, Ādisōke is expected to draw more than one million visitors each year. Its scale and location will make it a new focal point in Ottawa, with ripple effects on local businesses and tourism. 111 NOV 2025 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
