Our History
Established in 1977, CanGames is Canada’s longest-running gaming convention. Each year, hundreds of game enthusiasts meet in the Ottawa area over the course of a weekend … for fun and friendly competition. They play board games, collectible card games, miniatures games, and role-playing games.
Venue
Our Convention home is the Rideau Curling Club. Located at the corner of Cooper and Percy in Downtown Ottawa. Located 1 block from OC Transpo route 11 and 4 blocks from every East West route through downtown.
The parking onsite is limited but there is parking on street and at several local pay lots. Note that on street parking has a time limit in many zones so we recommend parking in the pay lots on Somerset west of Bronson which are all within 10 minutes walk of the site.
