The Enlightened Parent 3 Second-year Student Housing Check out the next two pages for valuable information, tips and advice regarding living arrangements for your student’s second year! HOUSING OPTIONS Left: Frontenac House in the summer Right: the room layout of Frontenac House suites 1. Living in Residence For students going into second year, there is the option to remain living in residence. Frontenac House was opened in 2008 and has occupancy for 250 students. Unlike first-year residences, all the rooms in Frontenac are suite style (see room layout image above). It is important to note that upper year students in residence are not required to purchase a meal plan, but the option is available for them if they choose. If your student has a friend that they want to live with but doesn’t want to leave the comforts of on campus living, applying to Frontenac may be for them! The application for residence opens on Feb.1 at 10 a.m. Second year residence is not guaranteed, and spots are distributed based on a priority and lottery system. To be considered for the priority round of residence spaces, students must apply by Feb. 16, 2011, and have a GPA of 10.0 (A-) or above. 2. Off-campus Living The second option for students is to move off campus. If your student has a group of friends that they want to live with, encourage them to look into renting a house or townhouse off campus. Depending on the number of friends they want to live with, students can rent an entire house or just a smaller apartment- style section.

A residence in more than a hundred cities, including nearly all that are introduced in this work, leads me to feel that I shall succeed in my purpose of giving to the public a book, without the necessity of marching in slow and solemn procession before my readers a monumental array of time-honored statistics; on the contrary, it will be my aim, in the following pages, to talk of cities as I have seen and found them in my walks, from day to day, with but slight reference to their origin and past history.

  • Growing a Culture: an Artistic History of Ottawa
    Growing a Culture: An Artistic History of Ottawa Lecture Two ART The Studio Club which, "Eva Major-Marothy speculates that the Studio Club may have formed the core of the 'Ottawa Group' which held an exhibition at Hart House in Toronto in January 1924. ( Group of Seven, 1920). This Group included Paul Alfred, Harold Beament, Frank Hennessey, Florence McGillivray, Graham Norwell, Yoshida Sekido, and David Milne, in one of his few incarnations as an 'Ottawa' painter. This 'Group' was intended to be Ottawa’s equivalent to Toronto’s Group of Seven and Montreal’s Beaver Hall Hill Group; it wanted 'to keep alive a healthy interest in art, modern Canadian art in particular.' Soon after the exhibition, Beament and Norwell left for Europe and Milne returned to New York, while the others carried on, individually or in conjunction with the activities of the Art Association.'' (pg 23, History of Art and Artists of Ottawa and Surroundings, 1790-1970: Part II, 1880-1945,The Ottawa Art Gallery, 1995). Paul Alfred Paul Alfred (pseudonym of Alfred Ernest Meister) (1892-1959), was born at Hanley, Staffordshire, England, to Mr. and Mrs. John E. Meister. He was educated at Hanley's Northwood National School from 1896 to 1906, and the Polytechnic School of Art at Hanley between 1902 and 1906. Thereafter, he emigrated to Canada. In 1920, Alfred returned to England where he studied at the Chelsea Polytechnic in London. Upon completion of his degree, he returned to Canada where he became employed as a publicity artist for the Natural Resources Branch of the Department of the Interior from 1921 to 1931.

  • Ottawology II: a Study of Ottawa's Third Places
    Ottawology II: A Study of Ottawa’s Third Places This series draws on sociology, cultural geography, and social history to offer a critical, interdisciplinary perspective on Ottawa, with a particular spotlight on Ottawa’s third places. Sociologist Ray Oldenburg defines third places as places that are neither home, nor work; third places include cafes, bars, malls, libraries, and community centres. In these places people can interact with strangers, develop a sense of community, and be exposed to new and surprising things. Third places are crucial to processes of socialization and social solidarity. Throughout this series we will focus on many of the cherished third places in Ottawa: libraries, arenas, malls, markets, festivals, and hotels. Finally, lectures on trees and transit offer analysis of Ottawa’s past and present uses and engagement with the natural environment. NOTE: This series is a good companion to, but is distinct from, the initial Ottawology lecture series. It has no pre-requisites. It takes place fully online (Spring 2021). Series Outline: Week 1: Fiddles and festivals The series begins with a lecture on a history of immigration into the Ottawa valley, from the British, Scots, Irish and French in the late 18th century, to the settlement of Syrian refugees in Ottawa in 2015. In the first half of the lecture, I detail how external forces in Europe and various assisted emigration schemes led to the settlement and the development of a specific type of vernacular multiculturalism in the Ottawa valley. In the second half of the lecture, I offer an introduction to history of Canadian immigration, and detail how that history is expressed through the history of various ethnic enclaves in Ottawa and the current demographics of Ottawa neighbourhoods.
