Ottawa in the spring is a lively, dynamic destination with several exciting annual occurrences. ISNPR 2027 is fortunate to be bookended by two exciting events in May: The Tulip Festival from May 8th to 18th, and Ottawa Race Weekend from May 29th to 30th. Want to wander through colourful beds of tulips, daffodils, and narcissi? Come a few days early! Want to run a 5K, 10K, or even a half or full marathon? Register for a race and stay a few extra days!

***Please note that because of these events, the city will be busier than usual and hotels will be at max capacity, so be sure to book your accommodations as early as possible!***

We are proud to host ISNPR 2027 in Ottawa, Canada’s capital city and home to a vibrant academic and healthcare research community. Thanks to leading universities, research institutes, teaching hospitals, and national organizations, Ottawa is a thriving hub for scientific discovery, healthcare innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Located in the heart of Ottawa, Ontario, the University of Ottawa’s Lees Campus will host ISNPR 2027. Bordered by the Rideau River and a quick LRT stop away from Main Campus, the LEED platinum certified FHS building boasts state-of-the-art facilities ideal for convening international delegates to exchange knowledge and advancing Nutritional Psychiatry research.

Street Address: 200 Lees Avenue, Ottawa, K1N 6N5

Nestled along the picturesque Ottawa River, Canada's capital blends rich history with a vibrant culinary scene, walkable neighbourhoods, and stunning architecture.

Ubers and Taxis

Ubers and taxis (Blue Line, Capital Taxi, Westway) are readily available in Ottawa. An Uber or taxi from the airport to downtown costs approximately $25-45 CAD and takes approximately 15-30 minutes depending on traffic and demand.

Public Transit

OC Transpo is the public transit provider in Ottawa, comprising both buses and the O-Train (LRT). The airport is serviced by bus route 105, 24 hours a day, every 30 minutes, and Line 4 of the O-Train from 6am to midnight.

There are 3 main categories of international delegates:

1. Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents: No visa required. Travel with appropriate identification.

2. Visa-Exempt Countries: Many delegates from countries such as France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, and several others do not require a visitor visa for short conference attendance. Instead, if arriving by air, they generally need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).

3. Visa-Required Countries: Delegates from many countries, including India, China, Nigeria, Pakistan, and others, typically require a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) before travelling to Canada. Conference attendance is usually considered a legitimate business visitor activity.

Please visit the IRCC website to find out if you need a visa or eTA.
