The NCC fulfils its unique mandate by setting the long-term planning direction for federal lands, being the principal steward of nationally significant public places, and being a creative partner to key stakeholders in the region through its commitment to excellence in both the development of properties and the conservation of heritage sites. In carrying out its mandate as the main federal urban planner, and as the largest landowner in the region, the NCC works collaboratively with the public and with key stakeholders at the federal, provincial and municipal levels. Close cooperation and consultation leads to sensitive and appropriate decisions about the use of federal lands, based on sustainability, concern for the environment, and operational best practices. The NCC is committed to fostering a climate of trust within all of the constituencies with which it works and whom it serves. The NCC wished to conduct a study to assess its relationships with key stakeholders, allowing the organization to better understand stakeholders’ familiarity with its mandate, perceptions of how well they believe it carries out its objectives, and to obtain any recommendations for improvements to communications and services. -

The Plan for Canada's Capital
Judicial i This page is intentionally left blank for printing purposes. ii The Plan for Canada’s Capital 2017 to 2067 NATIONAL CAPITAL COMMISSION June 2016 iii The Capital of an extensive country, rapidly growing in population and wealth, possessed of almost unlimited water power for manufacturing purposes, and with a location admirably adapted not only for the building of a great city, but a city of unusual beauty and attractiveness. (…) Not only is Ottawa sure to become the centre of a large and populous district, but the fact that it is the Capital of an immense country whose future greatness is only beginning to unfold, (…) and that it be a city which will reflect the character of the nation, and the dignity, stability, and good taste of its citizens. Frederick Todd, 1903 “Preliminary Report to the Ottawa Improvement Commission” pp.1-2 iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For more than a century, the National Capital Commission (NCC) and its predecessors have embraced urban planning to promote the development, conservation and improvement of the National Capital Region, with the aim of ensuring that the nature and character of the seat of the Government of Canada is in accordance with its national significance. The consequences of these planning efforts have been the creation of parks and open spaces, public shorelines, campuses and clusters of government institutions, monuments and symbolic boulevards. This plan charts the future of federal lands in the National Capital Region between Canada’s sesquicentennial in 2017 and its bicentennial in 2067. It will shape the use of federal lands, buildings, parks, infrastructure and symbolic spaces to fulfill the vision of Canada’s Capital as a symbol of our country’s history, diversity and democratic values, in a dynamic and sustainable manner.
