Ottawa has had transit service since 1870 when the Ottawa City Passenger Railway Company began with the horse-drawn omnibus.  This company soon amalgamated with another to become the Ottawa Electric Railway (OER) Company and electric streetcars were introduced.  In 1948, the City of Ottawa purchased OER's assets and continued to operate streetcars until April 30, 1959.  At that time, the 696 went into storage until it was brought back to Ottawa in 2000. 

An all-volunteer group has been formed and has started to restore 696 for operation so we, with your help, can recreate a piece of living history for all to ride in and enjoy!
   

  • Your participation offers not only tangible rewards but also brings the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped in bringing an important piece of Ottawa's history to the residents and visitors of our Nation's Capital. 

  • You will be identified as being associated with a high-profile heritage preservation project that is sure to draw enthusiastic public support, goodwill and civic pride.

  • You will be participating in a unique and significant endeavor, which ensures high visibility throughout the restoration and long after its completion.
