Ottawa Nautilus

03/18/2026

I’m sure some of the Ottawa Nautilus members have read the post The City of Ottawa put out yesterday. The post was very misleading. There is no structural damage to the main building itself. The old freight elevator shaft does have to come down. The only repair to the main building will be filling in the hole left from the elevator shaft, framing in the elevator’s openings and putting siding up where the elevator shaft use to be. Again there will be no extensive repairs to the main building. Our engineer has confirmed the main building is structurally sound.

The good news is it will be business as usual for Ottawa Nautilus. For safety reasons we will have to close the back door while the elevator is being torn down. Ottawa Nautilus is celebrating 30 years in business this month. I want to thank the community of Ottawa and surrounding areas for the amazing support they have given us throughout the year. It’s been an amazing adventure and hoping for many more.

We will be having new flooring installed in both the men’s and women’s bathrooms on next Tuesday June 24th. Both the locker room and bathroom facilities will not be accessible from 6am until they are completed with the install. We are hoping that they will be done by 6pm but we cannot guarantee that time. Please plan accordingly and remove any clothing from the locker room that you may need before that time. You will not be allowed in the locker room or bathroom during the install I am sorry for the inconvenience but they only other way to do it would be to shut the entire gym down for the day. Thanks for your understanding.

As with most things in life right now our carpet installation process is taking longer than anticipated. We are hoping to re-open on Thursday but ask that you either check here or give us a call before coming in. We appreciate your patience during this process!
