Marconi Centre

A Vibrant Cultural and Community Centre!

Marconi Centre is a social nucleus offering a variety of programs, services and events for all members of our community.

Seniors use the Marconi Centre for programs such as seniors' exercise classes, weekly bingos, daily card playing, social gatherings, bocce, day trips and meetings and events of the L'Età D'Oro (Golden Age Club) provide an important social component.

A Day Care Program is provided under the direction of the City Of Ottawa along with City run programs for children.

Home to the Rideau Kiwanis Club, Dante Alighieri Society, The Order of Italian-Canadians, Italian Week, and COMITES, our ongoing commitment to the community is extended to Associations and Groups that use the Marconi Centre as a domicile for their charitable work.

The Marconi Centre is also used by Clubs and Associations for their dinner dances and other activities while at the same time supporting the benevolent purposes of the Marconi Centre. Proceeds generated through the Marconi Centre support the ongoing charitable work of Villa Marconi Long-Term Care Center and community programs. This is an opportune way to support the community by purchasing needed services for events such as banquets, weddings, social gatherings and business conferences or meetings.

The Marconi Centre values…

Community – through our commitment of improving the quality of life for young and old and fostering a sense of cultural pride and common purpose.

Partnerships – through our commitment to build strong relationships with our patrons, coworkers, the community, and other organizations to address common issues, promote mutual interests, and enhance the quality of life of our community.

Accessibility – through our commitment to welcome all segments of the greater community without prejudice and to encourage flexibility and maximize our sharing of new, special and unique opportunities.

Excellence – through our commitment to provide more than what is expected of a non-profit centre, encouraging innovation and change, and encouraging the delivery of services of the highest quality to the community and to each other.
