The NICCC are dedicated to the restoration of this heritage site and to the development of community events for the Irish constituents of Ottawa.
Saint Brigid's Centre is honoured to have facilitated a variety of artistic and cultural groups from Ottawa and around the world. From orchestras and concerts to private parties, art exhibitions, lectures and conferences, Saint Brigid's Centre is a multidisciplinary space that truly showcases the diversity of our Nation's Capital.
