Replacement
Back in 2018, the first round of public consultation asked residents whether the pavilion should be renovated or replaced. That feedback helped shape two design concepts for the preferred option to replace the building.
The City is now preparing a feasibility study for the future replacement of the Bbeach pavilion. This next phase invites you to weigh in on a one-storey and a two-storey option.
Your voice matters. Join the conversation and help shape the next chapter of this iconic waterfront space.

From now to May 17, residents are invited to visit engage.ottawa.ca/mooneys_pavilion(link is external) to view the two design concepts and provide their feedback. In addition, an in-person consultation session has been scheduled for the following date and location:
