Irving Rivers

Don’t miss this landmark ByWard Market shop, renowned for its vast selection of work clothing, footwear, accessories and souvenirs.

Named for its owner, Irving Rivers literally “corners the Market” with its iconic storefront at the centre of all the action in Ottawa’s tourist hub. Visitors from around the world flock to the shop for its extensive and unconventional inventory of travel accessories, backpacks, camping gear, flags (Canadian and international), souvenirs, work clothing (uniform pants, shirts, crests, overalls, coveralls, parkas, bombers etc.), safety footwear, army surplus, hats for all seasons (baseball to cowboy) and much more.
