From Doors Open Ottawa:

"With a capacity to hold up to 500 people, the mosque design includes a main prayer hall for men on the ground level, a second prayer area for women on the upper level, and a basement used for prayers, meetings, and childcare. In keeping with traditional mosque design, the building includes a raised central dome and minaret — visible landmarks along Scott Street. In Muslim countries, the minaret is used to make the Call to Prayer, summoning people to perform five daily prayers. MAC Connect, a national project of the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) that provides a forum for Canadian Muslims to exchange experiences with fellow Canadians, will present the mosque for participation in the event in collaboration with the Ottawa Muslim Association."
