Save the date for a truckload of fun!  

On Sunday, June 8, the City of Ottawa is hosting the Public Works Big Wheels Expo! This is a free event for kids, and for kids at heart, to get a closer look at vehicles from the City’s Public Works and Infrastructure and Water Services departments and learn more about what these vehicles – and their operators – do.  

The event will include vehicles such as garbage trucks, snowplows, a log truck, a loader, a road painting truck, a traffic signal display, a sidewalk sweeper, a hydraulic crane truck, and much more.   

For young people thinking about an operational career in Public Works, this is a chance to speak to heavy equipment operators about their day-to-day work and to learn from our human resources staff on how to apply for positions.  

Date: Sunday, June 8, 2025  

Time: 9:30 am to 1:30 pm 

          *Sensory friendly time from 9 am to 9:30 am for those who require lighter crowds  

Location: Ottawa Stadium, 300 Coventry Road   

Cost: FREE   

Sunday, June 8, is an Ottawa Titans gameday! Why not make a day of it and watch the game? We will have 100 tickets to the baseball game, which we will start giving out at noon for the 1 pm game start.   

Bike parking is available free of charge, and the stadium can be accessed via transit. To determine the best public transit route for you, please consult the OC Transpo Travel Planner.

Parking is also available at Ottawa Stadium for $9 on the app or in person. Cash is not accepted.   

We encourage you to share and post the attached poster and social media tiles to inform your members and clients! This is a wonderful opportunity for kids to get up close and personal with these impressive machines.   

Looking forward to seeing you there!
