Capital Circuit

An original way to discover Canada’s Capital! Student teams, equipped with a map and clues, take a self-guided exploratory tour of Ottawa.

In Capital Circuit: An Urban Scavenger Hunt, the adventure begins in the heart of downtown Ottawa. Your students’ mission: to solve clues that take them to several landmarks around the Capital, where they will find the answers to various questions. The first team to get all the answers wins!

Sites visited on the scavenger hunt include the Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill and Maman, the spider sculpture at the National Gallery of Canada.
