    Byward Market Annual Report

    ByWard Market Annual 2017 Report Introduction: Administration & Financial ByWard Market BIA Mandate To support and promote the health and vitality of the ByWard Market as a unique business district and meeting place for residents as well as visitors. The ByWard Market is characterized by a wide variety of owner-operated businesses and a farmers’ market that make the Market rich in heritage, activity and animation. Financial Breakdown Revenues & Expenses Property Taxes vs Levies Commercial properties in the ByWard Market BIA pay millions of dollars in property taxes annually to the City of Ottawa. Property taxes DO NOT fund the BIA. 100% of property taxes go directly to the City of Ottawa paying for many City services such as: emergency services (police, fire, ambulance), road maintenance, snow removal, water service and sewers, City parks, and facilities etc… In contrast, the BIA is primarily funded through the BIA levy collected from commercial property owners. It is very important to note that the ByWard Market BIA has one of the lowest levies of all of Ottawa’s urban BIAs. This commitment to keep the levy cost minimal for business members means BIA staff need to find alternative sources of revenue to supplement the overall budget. These include sponsorships, grants, sales, and partnerships. In 2017, the ByWard Market BIA supplemented 35% of the overall operating budget through other sources of revenue (sponsorships, sales, and grants). The Board has always been committed to responsible fiscal management. Even though we are one of the busiest BIAs in the City, the ByWard Market BIA levy remains one of the lowest in the downtown core.

    2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River

    INTRODUCTION 76 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River In spite of the 360‐metre drop of the Ottawa Figure 2.27 “The Great Kettle”, between its headwaters and its mouth, the river has Chaudiere Falls been a highway for human habitation for thousands of years. First Nations Peoples have lived and traded along the Ottawa for over 8000 years. In the 1600s, the fur trade sowed the seeds for European settlement along the river with its trading posts stationed between Montreal and Lake Temiskaming. Initially, French and British government policies discouraged settlement in the river valley and focused instead on the lucrative fur trade. As a result, settlement did not occur in earnest until the th th late 18 and 19 centuries. The arrival of Philemon Source: Archives Ontario of Wright to the Chaudiere Falls and the new British trend of importing settlers from the British Isles marked the beginning of the settlement era. Farming, forestry and canal building complemented each other and drew thousands of immigrants with the promise of a living wage. During this period, Irish, French Canadians and Scots arrived in the greatest numbers and had the most significant impact on the identity of the Ottawa Valley, reflected in local dialects and folk music and dancing. Settlement of the river valley has always been more intensive in its lower stretches, with little or no settlement upstream of Lake Temiskaming. As the fur trade gave way to farming, settlers cleared land and encroached on First Nations territory. To supplement meagre agricultural earnings, farmers turned to the lumber industry that fuelled the regional economy and attracted new waves of settlers.
  • The Scots of Beechwood Tour

    The Scots of Beechwood Tour

    The Scots of Beechwood The Scots have immigrated to Canada in steady and substantial numbers for over 200 years, with the connection between Scotland and Canada stretching farther — to the 17th century. Scots have been involved in every aspect of Canada's development as explorers, educators, businessmen, politicians, writers and artists. The Scots are among the first Europeans to establish themselves in Canada and are the third largest ethnic group in the country. With a history and heritage this long, it was only natural that the Scots of Ottawa found a home at Beechwood Cemetery. 1. TOMMY DOUGLAS - Section 64, Graves 285, 286 Born on October 20, 1904 in Falkirk, Scotland. In the fall of 1928, Tommy became a minister at Calvary Baptist Church in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. He felt first hand the harshness of the Depression in the prairies. Douglas knew that something had to be done for the common man. His experience with the vast unemployment and poverty transformed T.C. Douglas, the clergyman, into a social activist. By 1932, Douglas helped organize an Independent Labour Party in Weyburn of which he became president. The movement soon evolved into the Farmer Labour Party. This party offered hospital care for everyone on an equal basis, including unemployment insurance and universal pension. By July of 1932, the labour parties of the four western provinces formed an alliance under the name Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF). The CCF became Canada’s first national socialist party. In 1935, Douglas was elected into parliament under the CCF. By the early 40’s, Tommy moved away from the federal politics and became leader of the Saskatchewan provincial CCF party (1942) while maintaining his seat in the House of Commons.

    Who Is Watching out for the Ottawa River?

    Who Is Watching Out for the Ottawa River? Professor Benidickson CML 3351 369567 April 28 2000 George Brown AContradictions in human behavior are evident throughout the region. There are beautiful farms and ravaged riverbanks; decimated forests and landscaped community parks; chemical and nuclear waste oozing toward the river and conscientious children cleaning highways. In Canada, extremes in river levels that prevent the existence of both natural ecologies and human enterprises are caused by dams built primarily to meet US energy needs. Diverse and contradictory possibilities appear for the river region of the future: economic stability, ecological integrity and sustainability if people take seriously their responsibilities for God=s earth; ecological disaster and economic depression if current practices remain unchangedY@1 The above quotation, is taken from a statement by the US and Canadian Catholic Bishops concerning the Columbia River. Entitled The Columbia River Watershed: Realities and Possibilities, it was meant to remind citizens on both sides of the border, that Awe humans do not live alone in the Columbia watershed. We share our habitat with other lives, members of the community of life B what scientists call the biotic community B who relate to us as fellow inhabitants of the watershed, as fellow members of the web of life.@2 This paper is not about the Columbia River, it is about the Ottawa River. (Ottawa) What I found interesting about the first quotation is that you could very easily have applied it to the Ottawa River, as well as many other rivers throughout North America. I intend to examine the Ottawa from the perspective mentioned above, that it is a river that can have a future characterized by economic stability, ecological integrity, and sustainability, if we take seriously our responsibilities as citizens.
