It is located adjacent the Kanata Centrum shopping centre at Kanata Avenue and Earl Grey Drive, just east of the Highway 417 exit at Terry Fox Drive. The station entered service in September 2004 with construction still having been underway at that time; it officially opened on February 22, 2005. Before the station's construction, a small terminal was located at Kanata Town Centre, located south of Highway 417 on Katimavik Road.

The station was needed as the Kanata Centrum was getting more and more popular, while the Kanata Town Centre was desolate for several years. Previously, service to Centrum was very limited, but the construction of the Castlefrank Road/Kanata Avenue interchange and Valour Bridge overpass over Highway 417 have permitted for several bus routes to serve the Centrum.

The station also contains a Park & Ride facility to supplement the often-full Eagleson Station. Special AM trips on route 96 are provided as an alternative, and are signed 96D HURDMAN VIA 417 or 96D BLAIR VIA 417.

As of 28 June 2015, new route 92 replaces all route 96A service. Route 92 also replaces the 96 trips that started/ended at Terry Fox Station on weekends and on weekday evening before midnight. At the same time, both route 92 and route 96 are shortened to start/end at St. Laurent Station and to travel via Tremblay to serve Ottawa Train Station between Hurdman Station and St. Laurent Station.
