    City History Hunt: The Rideau Canal ENTRANCE BAY OTTAWA LOCKS RIDEAU CANAL LEBRETON FLATS LeBreton Flats This area was the second choice for the start of the Rideau Canal due to its flat landscape. The first choice was the parcel of land we know of as LeBreton Flats. However, Captain LeBreton, who had previously purchased the land for £499, tried selling the land to Lieutenant Colonel John By for £3000. John By decided this was too much money to spend on a plot of land and decided to look elsewhere. Entrance Bay John By ended up purchasing this plot of land for the beginning of the Rideau Canal. There have been many names for this part of the Ottawa River, but it is now referred to as Entrance Bay due to its location at the entrance of the Rideau Canal. It has also been named Sleigh’s Bay after the wedding of Philemon Wright’s son, during which guests watched the ceremony from their sleighs on the frozen Ottawa River. Philemon Wright was the founder of Wrightsville, now Gatineau. Rideau Canal The Rideau Canal was built between 1826 and 1832. It was intended to be a secure military route to the Great Lakes that bypassed the St Lawrence River. It is now simply used for pleasure. The Rideau Canal is a total of 202 kilometers between Ottawa and Kingston and uses both man-made canals and natural waterways. Ottawa Locks The locks along the Rideau Canal use four different mechanisms to control them. All except three locks are operated solely by man-power.

One option would split the ward at Bronson Avenue, a second at Kent Street, and three others at O’Connor Street–despite the consul- tants saying that preserving “geographic communities of interest” was a prime consid- eration in the review. The new ward boundar- ies will come into effect for the next city elections, in fall 2022, and would be in ef- fect until 2030 or 2034.

  • South Ottawa Roads, Playgrounds, Pathways, Studies, Real Estate Tapped for 2017 Cash South Ottawa Projects in 2017 Budget
    South Ottawa roads, playgrounds, pathways, studies, real estate tapped for 2017 cash South Ottawa projects in 2017 budget Ottawa South News Dec 29, 2016 By Erin McCracken Dozens of projects in Ottawa’s southern wards have been tapped to receive 2017 budget dollars. Here’s a breakdown, ward by ward: Capital Ward Residents who live in or frequent the Billings Bridge and Heron Park neighbourhoods of Capital Ward can count on the addition of a new red light camera at Bank Street and Riverside Drive in the coming months. It’s just one of a number of items for that part of the ward that are included in the city’s 2017 budget. The design of a new pathway will be completed in 2017 to allow users of the Rideau River Eastern Pathway to walk or cycle under the south side of Billings Bridge at Bank Street and Riverside Drive. Construction is scheduled for 2018 and the cost is being shared with the National Capital Commission. “That means people going east-west along that multi-use pathway won’t have to come up and cross Bank Street anymore,” said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. “It is safer, removes a number of movements, and there will be fewer people for drivers to keep an eye on.” inReadThat will complement plans to begin work on sections of the Rideau River Western Pathway in nearby Old Ottawa South, he said, adding that currently is a patchwork of trails to the University of Ottawa and on to Sandy Hill. Faircrest Heights, Alta Vista, Billings Bridge and Heron Park residents can also look forward to construction beginning on the Rideau Canal footbridge that will link Fifth Avenue in the Glebe with Clegg Street in Old Ottawa East.

Geographic comments regarding ward boundaries and communities, and quantifiable comments regarding ward populations and number of wards have been incorporated into the design of the five options for re- aligning Ottawa’s wards. The comments below are organized as follows: A. Other Comments on Wards and Ward Boundaries – Online Survey, Public Meetings and Online Submissions · General (Urban Wards; Suburban Wards; Rural Wards); · Specific Wards (Urban; Suburban; Rural); · Number of Wards/Ward Populations; and · Governance.

The number in brackets at the end of some comments refers to the number of times the suggestion was mentioned. A. Other Comments on Wards and Ward Boundaries – Online Survey, Public Meetings and Online Submissions General · Three issues: 1. We have too many Councillors for the City of Ottawa with an average of 41,907/ward - compared to average population/ward in Vancouver of 63,000, Calgary of 87,000, Montreal of 90,000 and Toronto of 109,000. Yet our Councillors have similar compensation as these other cities. 2. The Urban (inside Greenbelt) Wards currently have 12 Councillors with Rural Councillors at 11.
