There are always great things happening in Barrhaven! Check back here often for new event announcements from both the Barrhaven BIA and our community partners!
I ❤️ Barrhaven
Born out of our community’s fierce pride for this place we call home, the I ❤️ Barrhaven branding was born. It can be seen throughout the community on signage and public art, on swag sold and given away by the Barrhaven BIA, and on our storefronts! Watch for events and opportunities to show your Barrhaven pride on our social media channels.
Public Art
With a goal of beautifying our community and pedestrian spaces, the Barrhaven BIA (with grants from the City of Ottawa) has installed two major public art installations at 24 locations throughout the community. Check them out and take a selfie – that’s what they are there for!
Large Heart Installations
Located in 4 of our business districts, these large hearts provide a great photo opportunity both day and night! Hearts can be found at Citigate (beside Montana’s), the Hampton Inn & Suites Ottawa West, Highbury Park (by Chocolat Favoris), and at Village Square (at Boston Pizza).
Traffic Control Box Wraps
Bringing an urban concept to the suburbs, 20 traffic control boxes have been wrapped with vibrant designs from local artist Robbie Lariviere of Falldown Gallery! Four unique designs are scattered throughout the community representing 4 major business sectors and all our Barrhaven businesses (Shopping, Dining, Living, and Fun!) The intricate designs ensure that you will notice something new every time you look at them! See how many of them you can find!
