Canada and the World Pavilion

Canada and the World Pavilion

The Canada and the World Pavilion was a small museum in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Exhibits were devoted to Canada's contribution to sport, arts and culture, development, peacekeeping, and science. Interactive exhibits, activities, and special events were held at the facility and in the surrounding parkland.

With spectacular views to the north, the building overlooks the historic Rideau Falls and the Ottawa River. At 50 Sussex Drive, it is the next-door neighbour to the Embassy of France.

After several years of mediocre attendance, the facility closed in the fall of 2005. In October 2016 it was announced that 50 Sussex is the new home of The Royal Canadian Geographical Society.[1]
