Overnight security requirements must be coordinated with the University of Ottawa. No external security companies are allowed on campus.

Rate 2024: $257.28 plus tax, per security ambassador, per night. Additional charges apply on statutory holidays.

The rate includes overnight security services from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. The schedule is fixed and cannot be changed. The security ambassador will conduct a tour of the rooms assigned to your group. If you wish to have one on each floor that your group occupies, please notify your coordinator.
