ELGIN businesses need your support now more than ever:

Open for business.

Running from Parliament Hill to the Queensway intersection with the canal, Elgin Street is a bustling corridor of entertainment, independently-owned restaurants, shops and services. The shops, restaurants, pubs and services are still open for business during the provincial lockdown. Many are offering take out, delivery or curbside pick up and gift cards to purchase. Please visit their websites or social media for updated hours of service and offerings.

Let’s Dig Deeper

Named after Lord Elgin, as is the historical hotel that first opened in 1941, the north end of the Elgin merges with Confederation Square, and opens onto the National War Memorial, Parliament Hill, and the entrance to Sparks Street. Populated by many independent business and services, family owned for generations in some cases, Elgin Street retains its history as an eclectic spot to dine and shop. It is steps away from many of the capital’s beautiful landmarks from Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal and the Museum of Nature. It’s a neighbourhood that you can explore and call your home base while visiting the capital or somewhere to put down roots and call home. With restaurants, shops and services right out your door, you can leave the car at home and explore the city by foot, bike or bus.
