I know the Rideau Centre has a small courtyard but I find it pretty boxed in between the Convention Centre, Simons, etc.. and so although nice you don't get a view to anything.
Actually, the NAC does have a rooftop terrace area. Picture I took isn't great quality, so it's hard to see it, but if you look really closely, you might see the seating in red.

It's actually quite hard to find a modern picture of it, so here it is in the 80s.
