Mosques • Ottawa

Ottawa, Canada's capital, is home to a diverse Muslim community supported by a network of mosques and prayer spaces. Based on available mapped records, there are 12 listed prayer places within a 50 km radius of the city center. These are distributed across Ottawa proper and nearby areas such as Kanata, Gatineau, and Nepean, reflecting the community's presence in both urban and suburban settings. Prominent listed mosques include the Ottawa Muslim Association on Northwestern Avenue, Abo Ther Alghafari Mosque on Donald Street, and the Kanata Muslim Association on Sandhill Road.

In Ottawa itself, prayer places are found in several neighborhoods. The Ottawa Muslim Association serves the area near Northwestern Avenue, while Abo Ther Alghafari Mosque is located on Donald Street in the east end. Abu Bakr Musallah on Merivale Road and Assalam Mosque Corporation on St. Laurent Blvd provide additional options. Further west, Al-Batool Fatima Association on Bond Street and Bayshore Spiritual and Social Center on Carling Ave cater to communities in the west end. In Nepean, the Afghan Jaffari Cultural Center on Antares Drive offers a prayer space. South of the city, Assunnah Muslims Association on Hunt Club Road and Jami Omar on Old Richmond Road serve residents in those areas.

Across the Ottawa River in Gatineau, Quebec, two mosques are listed: Centre Islamique de L'Outaouais on Rue Lois and Aylmer's Mosque on Rue Park, providing options for Muslims in the Outaouais region. The Kanata Muslim Association, located in the western suburb of Kanata, serves a growing community there. This network of prayer places, while not exhaustive, offers a solid foundation for Muslims living in or visiting Ottawa to find nearby places for prayer and community connection.

Check the address and distance of each mosque before visiting, as some may be in nearby cities like Gatineau or Kanata.
