Our House

About Our House

Ronald McDonald House Ottawa was founded in 1983 and granted a charitable license in 1983. The House opened its doors to sick children and their families in June of 1984 and is part of a network of 16 Ronald McDonald Houses across Canada. 

The financial and emotional burdens can be overwhelming on families with a seriously ill child. For 42 years, Ronald McDonald House Ottawa has served as a place to call home for families with seriously ill children undergoing treatment

Its Board of Directors consists of 15 volunteer members from business, medical and the surrounding community. The House is managed by dedicated professional staff that, while small in number, is large in heart. We are blessed by the support of a full complement of hardworking, dedicated volunteers. The Ottawa House is located next to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, an internationally recognized hospital.
