Dominion is a station on the Transitway in Ottawa, Ontario.[1] It is located north of the western edge of Westboro village, where the below-grade transitway segment joins the Kichi Zībī Mīkan. The station is named after nearby Dominion Avenue.

Opened on November 29, 1999[2] as an intermediate station between the long-established Lincoln Fields and Westboro stations, Dominion station consists of two bus shelters and a grade level crosswalk rather than a true station with platforms. It has no connections to local routes but is actually very close (225m) to the commercial strip on Richmond Road in Westboro village and Westboro Beach.

It serves a primarily residential neighbourhood which previously had only Frequent Route 11 service on Richmond Road for regular transit service. The Académie de Formation Linguistique building at 495 Richmond Road (the former Denis Coolican Building, originally operated by the City of Ottawa) is also served by this station.[3]

A new light rail station is being built as part of the western extension of the Confederation Line. When the extension is complete, the station will be renamed to Kichi Zìbì to match the adjacent Kichi Zībī Mīkan and nearby Kitchissippi Lookout.[4]
