ALT This map shows the current populations within a 1km, 5km, and 10km radius of the Canadian Tire Centre, as well as the future home of the Ottawa Senators which I have jokingly named "Kettleman's Basilica." As announced on Thursday, June 23rd, 2022, the Ottawa Senators have reached a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Capital Commission to build a new arena in downtown Ottawa, on a parcel of land in Lebreton Flats. This will see the hockey club move downtown from their current arrangement in Kanata, Ontario, which is over 20 kilometers from the city's core. As visualized in this map that uses 2021 Canadian census data, the new arena will serve an impressively larger population within 1 kilometer (905% more people), 5 kilometers (250%), and 10 kilometers (413%). This downtown arena will be much more accessible by foot, bike, and transit, and will be much closer to local pubs, eateries, and Capital city attractions, allowing for a significantly improved game-day experience.
