From the Rideau Centre located on Rideau Street in Ottawa, head East on Rideau Street until you get to King Edward Street.

Go north on King Edward Street by turning left there on King Edward, and continue down that road. (Turn right on King Edward if coming from the east.)

When you have gotten at the end of King Edward Street, you will see a road sign saying "5, HULL". Continue towards that direction.

You will automatically be going into a left-handed bend that will automatically bring you on to the MacDonald-Cartier bridge.

Now, right after you have crossed the MacDonald-Cartier bridge, look immediately on your right for the Fournier Blvd. exit.

Take the Fournier Blvd. exit and stay to your right and continue for a distance of about 2 km until you get to a green metal bridge. This bridge is called the "Lady Aberdeen bridge".

Right after crossing the Lady Aberdeen bridge, there will be a traffic light; turn right at that traffic light. You will then see the church as well as the boat (The Ottawa River Queen) at the dock just on your right.
