Study Tours and Visiting Delegations

The City of Ottawa hosts study tours / visiting delegations seeking information on municipal government, programs and services. Some visits may require a multi-faceted program tailored to the many interests in municipal government. Study tours and visiting delegations could range from a half-day program to a maximum of two days.

The Office of Protocol is the principal point of contact for all study tours / visiting delegations. When there are several components to the study tour, our office will:

• facilitate all activities associated with such visits;
• provide leadership, coordination, and advice for all protocol matters;
• liaise with the responsive department and elected representative(s);
• determine the need for a hospitality component to the visit;
• develop a tailored program to meet the needs of the visiting delegation;
• organize all technical and logistical requirements associated with the visit;
• coordinate introductions with staff and politicians;
• create information kits that meet the needs of our guests.

Requests for study tours or visiting delegations should be submitted in writing to the Office of Protocol at least six weeks in advance of the event. All requests must meet the criteria outlined in our policy.
