What is the Expo CSO ?

Where innovation and community are celebrated! 

Expo CSO is a showcase of collaboration that highlights projects born from the collective genius of our community, City of Ottawa staff, and the students and professors at the University of Ottawa, Carleton University, Algonquin College, and Collège La Cité.

​

Projects respond to the priorities identified in the City of Ottawa’s Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) Plan and the City of Ottawa’s Strategic Plan 2023-2026.

 

From concepts to tangible solutions, the Expo CSO showcases and celebrates the collaborative spirit that defines our city. Each project highlights our dedication to a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable Ottawa

​

Judging and awards

Every year, we invite members of the Ottawa community – including students, professors, City staff, and the general public to Expo CSO, where the work produced by the CityStudio Ottawa partnership is displayed and celebrated. 

​

After having learned more about each project, participants  are invited to submit their selection for their favourite project.

​

Selected projects may receive one of the following awards: People’s Choice Award and City Staff Award.

Indigenous Affirmation

We pay respect to the Algonquin people, who are the traditional guardians of this land. We acknowledge their longstanding relationship with this territory, which remains unceded.

​

We pay respect to all Indigenous people in this region, from all nations across Canada, who call Ottawa home. We acknowledge the traditional knowledge keepers, both young and old. And we honour their courageous leaders: past, present, and future.
