cleary avenue detour (2022-2024)

Effective Monday November 21st, 2022, people will use the new detour for Cleary Avenue to enter our campus.
​Please drive slowly and pay attention to new detour signage.
Use the green buttons below to download the short document provided by the City of Ottawa which provides details about the detour.
Cleary Detour Information (English)
Informations sur le détour Cleary (français)
​The construction of Ottawa's expanded Light-Rail Transit (LRT) corridor will have a noticeable impact on our campus!
The tracks will go right underneath the intersection of Cleary Avenue and Richmond Road. As a result, Cleary Avenue will be closed at that intersection for about two years during excavation.

To accommodate us, the City will construct a temporary detour entrance to our Cleary campus - opening mid-November - via our upper parking lot and through Kristy's.

The construction will include signage, a pedestrian walkway from the detour intersection to Unitarian House, and a traffic light at Richmond Road.
​Construction for this detour is scheduled to begin in mid-September 2022 until the end of October 2022.

The Cleary Avenue detour will be in place from mid-November, 2022 to September 2024.

Over the two year detour period, you'll be able to find updates about the detour and related construction impacts on our campus right here on this page.
Presentation on Cleary Detour Plans
On September 14, the City of Ottawa met with the residents of Unitarian House to provide an update on LRT construction plans, including the Cleary Detour.

"We acknowledge that our campus is located on traditional, unsurrendered and unceded Algonquin Anishinabeg Territory;
and that the work of reconciliation is a responsibility of our congregation, and of all Canadians.  "Our goal is to educate ourselves and all
who have ears to hear, to be of service to those who are at risk, and to advocate for justice.
