Pimisi is a planned light rail downtown station under construction on the Ottawa Confederation Line as part of the O-Train network. The stop will be located under Booth Street[2] and is currently slated for completion by 2019[3].

Located in LeBreton Flats, it will serve the redeveloped flats area, including the new home of the NHL's Ottawa Senators, the New Central Library, Chinatown, and Little Italy.

The station was initially supposed to be named LeBreton, but on proposal of the local Algoquin leaders it was renamed in 2018. "Pimisi"is an Algonquin language word for an "eel"[4].
