  • 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.

  • Phase II: Clemow Estate Heritage Study: Area Analysis and Recommendations
    Phase II: Clemow Estate Heritage Study: area analysis and recommendations 1 Phase II Clemow Estate Heritage Conservation District Study – Area Analysis and Recommendations 1.0 Background In 2004, Ottawa’s City Council recommended undertaking a multi-phased Heritage Conservation Study of three areas of the Glebe surrounding Central Park. The intention was to provide an overall understanding of the history and cultural heritage character of the area and, to determine if a Heritage Conservation District would be an appropriate planning tool to recognize and protect the area by managing change over time. In 2011, the first phase of the study resulted in the designation of the Clemow Estate East Heritage Conservation District under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. For Phase II, Council’s original direction was to study the properties adjacent to Linden Terrace and Patterson Creek to the Rideau Canal. However, the research for Phase I indicated that the original Clemow Estate also included the western section of Clemow Avenue from Bronson Avenue to Bank Street. The research also showed that there was a historical and physical association between Clemow and Monkland Avenues, as part of Ottawa’s parkway and driveway network. Accordingly, the study area that was part of the original terms of reference was amended to include Monkland Avenue. 2.0 Description of the Study Area The Phase II study area includes three streets in the Glebe neighborhood: Clemow Avenue between Bronson Avenue and Bank Street, Monkland Avenue and Linden Terrace between O’Connor Street and the Rideau Canal. The area also includes Patterson Creek and its associated park land.
