    Barrhaven Light Rail Transit (Baseline Station to Barrhaven Town Centre) and VIA Rail Grade Separations Planning and Environmental Assessment Study - Recommendations Transportation Committee November 2, 2020 Project Benefits • Electric light rail transit; – Reduces greenhouse gas emissions; – Aligns with the City's Climate Change Master Plan; • Connects two major areas of planned growth; – Barrhaven Town Centre and Centrepointe Town Centre; • Connects the south urban communities to other destinations and transit corridors across the city; • Provides Transit-Oriented Development opportunities; – Supports growth management strategies of the Official Plan; and, • Supports anticipated ridership of 11,200 per peak period by 2031, with capacity for growth. 2 Recommended Plan Two Sections: 1. Baseline to Nepean Sportsplex; and, 2. Nepean Sportsplex to Barrhaven Town Centre. Major Elements: • 10 km electric LRT; • 7 stations (3 new, 4 converted); • Train Storage and Servicing Facility; • New 250-space Park & Ride Lot; and, • Rail grade-separations at Woodroffe, Southwest Transitway, Fallowfield. 3 Key Design Considerations • Compatibility with the Confederation Line; ‒ Fully segregated (streets, rail corridors); and, ‒ Same operational and safety requirements. • Geotechnical conditions north of Barrhaven; and, • Right-of-way availability. 4 Section 1: Grade Separation and Pinch Point Considerations: • Close spacing between street crossings and the need to go over or under CN Rail line; • Allowable slope and clearance requirements dictate vertical alignment choice; – would need to be consistent for the entire 2.4 km segment; and, • Available corridor narrows down to 38.8m at the Pinch Point. 5 Corridors Considered At pinch point (Knoxdale to West Hunt Club): • Within and beyond the right-of-way; • Below grade; and, • Elevated.

  • The First Women's World Ice Hockey Championship and the Emergence of the Routine of Women's Elite Hockey by Patrick Alexand
    The First Women’s World Ice Hockey Championship and the Emergence of the Routine of Women’s Elite Hockey by Patrick Alexander Reid A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport and Recreation University of Alberta © Patrick Alexander Reid, 2018 Abstract Ice hockey is Canada’s national winter sport (Government of Canada, 1982). While men’s hockey has been an event in the Olympic Games since 1920, women’s hockey was only added as an event in 1998 (IIHF, 2016). A watershed moment that advanced the growth of women’s hockey was the inaugural Women’s World Hockey Championship (WWHC), held in Ottawa, Canada, in March of 1990. Sociologist Nancy Theberge (2000) proclaimed the event was an important turning point in women’s ice hockey. It proved to be the test event for women’s hockey to be considered for inclusion in the winter Olympic Games, an accomplishment that would contribute to the legitimation of women’s hockey as an elite sport. The purpose of this current research is to investigate the WWHC in detail as a case study. Primary data encompassing the 1990 WWHC files of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) were made available for this study with the permission from CAHA president M. Costello. This study benefits from the data sources and insights available by the author who served as the event’s general manager. The historical description of the event utilizing data from the CAHA files corrected some misconceptions previously reported in the literature.

  • Welcome to Ottawa, Canada's Festival Capital
    Welcome to Ottawa, Canada’s Festival Capital “The City of Frost and Tulips” The City of Ottawa has a long-standing reputation as the city of festivals and events. These events perfectly reinforce Ottawa’s brand imagery; a destination that is impressive yet intimate, urban yet unspoiled and cultured in a manner that represents our appreciation of diversity. Ottawa special events are recognized for how the city expresses itself, and where its communities come together. They help drive the energy and image of any municipality. As the Nation’s Capital, Ottawa has an honoured role in special events presentation and management. Many of Ottawa’s events represent the best Canada has to offer, and are looked to as indicators of how the nation sees itself, and what it can be. Events are also how the City shows its capabilities to the fullest. Thousands of community volunteers, events staff and attendees participate in the rich calendar of Ottawa events. As the capital, Ottawa hosts some of the largest and highest profile events in the country, from Canada Day, Winterlude, the Largest International Dragon Boat Festival, Bluesfest to the Tulip Festival. There are also hundreds of cultural, sporting and interest specific events representing constituencies large and small across the City. In addition to internationally recognized events, large regional events and national celebrations are key tourism and economic generators. Ottawa is also home to countless numbers of community events that help build community and enhance our quality of life. The list of festivals that take place in Ottawa demonstrates the diversity of those that live here.

  • 16 January 2018 Report No. 18-009 Disposition of Surplus Property Key
    COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE (PUBLIC) 16 January 2018 Report No. 18-009 Disposition of Surplus Property Key Contact: Michael Carson, Chief Financial Officer, 613-596-8211 ext. 8881. PURPOSE: 1. To provide information to support the discussion regarding the disposition process for surplus OCDSB properties. CONTEXT: 2. The OCDSB is a significant owner of public lands in the city of Ottawa. To meet our fiscal obligations in the management of these properties, from time to time our property inventory must be examined to determine what are core or strategic holdings and which properties may have become surplus to our needs as an organization. There is always a balance to be maintained; continuing to own properties affords the OCDSB flexibility to respond to the changing needs and demographics of our organization; however, this flexibility comes at the cost of maintaining these sites. Additionally, there are public expectations that must be taken into account in managing the property portfolio. In particular, when it comes to recently closed schools, if the Board has determined that the local students are best served by consolidating them at nearby sites, there is an expectation that that the site itself may be surplus to our needs unless we have articulated alternative uses. KEY CONSIDERATIONS: 3. Disposition Process The disposition of any district property is governed by Regulation 444/98 under the Education Act. In addition to this regulation, the OCDSB has its own policy and procedure that governs property disposition; namely, Policy P.095.PLG Declaring, Decommissioning and Disposal of Surplus Board Property (Appendix A) and Procedure P.613.PLG, Declaration and Disposal of Surplus Board Property (Appendix B).
