The Embassy of the Republic of Armenia in Ottawa is the embassy of Armenia in Ottawa, Canada. It is located at 7 Delaware Avenue in Centretown overlooking the Rideau Canal. The embassy serves a dual purpose as both the representative of the nation of Armenia and also a centre for the 75,000 strong Armenian-Canadian community. It was with the aid of the Armenian diaspora that the building was purchased. The building was originally built in 1907-1908 and it has housed a number of prominent business leaders. In the past it has also been home to the embassy of Uruguay and of Hungary. One of the embassy's most notable features is the six ton tufa sculpture "Armenia Immortal" carved by Armenian artist Levon Tokmajyan and his son Hayk Tokmajyan . Shipped to Canada in October 2001 it is the largest such sculpture outside Armenia.
