The Rainbow Registered Guide allows travelers to explore Ottawa's diverse and vibrant 2SLGBTQI+ community.
The Rainbow Registered Guide allows travelers to explore Ottawa's diverse and vibrant 2SLGBTQI+ community.

Ottawa Tourism has been accredited by Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ Chamber of Commerce (CGLCC), marking a significant milestone in the organization’s ongoing commitment to promoting inclusivity and diversity in business and leisure tourism. This accreditation reflects Ottawa Tourism's dedication to creating a welcoming and safe destination for all delegates and travelers.

The Rainbow Registered accreditation, a nationally recognized symbol of 2SLGBTQI+ inclusion in Canada’s travel industry, underscores Ottawa Tourism's determination to celebrate and support 2SLGBTQI+ visitors and the community. As a part of this commitment, a first wave of hotels, venues, shops and attractions across the city have also joined the Rainbow Registered Guide, with many more to come.

The CGLCC accreditation process evaluates an organization’s commitment to 2SLGBTQI+ inclusion, examining various factors such as policies, marketing and community involvement. Ottawa Tourism's successful accreditation highlights the organization’s efforts to ensure that 2SLGBTQI+ delegates and travelers can experience the city with confidence, knowing they will be treated with respect and dignity.

In addition to achieving its own CGLCC accreditation, Ottawa Tourism is excited to celebrate the growing participation of local businesses and service providers in the Rainbow Registered Guide. This guide, a resource for 2SLGBTQI+ travelers, features 2SLGBTQI+ friendly businesses and experiences in Ottawa.
