Bullock This dissertation focuses on the language behavior of individuals from the Ottawa– Gatineau metropolitan region (OGR) and the ways in which it correlates with their language attitudes as expressed in social media and in person. Although attitudes are believed to be intrinsically related to behavior, there is a lack of consensus among social psychologists regarding the nature of this relationship. Furthermore, there is a paucity of work exploring the link between language attitudes (LA) and language behavior. I intend to address this gap through my dissertation. The OGR is a fertile ground for such a study. It is a largely stable bilingual region where a total of 48.5% of the population speaks English and 30.3% speaks French as their mother tongue (Statistics Canada, 2016). However, the region is not a homogenous linguistic community. It is linguistically divided by the Québec-Ontario provincial border with the largely francophone Gatineau on the Québec side and the mainly anglophone Ottawa on the Ontario side of the border. The two cities are also different in terms of vi language policies and language planning measures adopted by their respective municipal and provincial governments. In this study, I established language use patterns through ethnographic observations in local cafés, farmer’s markets and grocery stores and through people’s use of French and English on Twitter. Language attitudes were assessed through a language attitude questionnaire (Kircher, 2009) distributed among people in different public spaces in the OGR and through a study of tweets from individuals in the region. The analysis reveals important differences in language attitudes and language use among francophones and anglophones. We also noticed that the two official languages do not enjoy the same status and that attitudes towards Québec/Canadian French (QF/CF) are more negative than attitudes towards European French (EF) or the French language in general. Finally, we discovered that language attitudes and language use had an important influence on each other, but this relationship was dependent on other factors as well. vii Table of Contents List of Tables ................................................................................................................... xiv List of Figures .................................................................................................................. xvi Chapter 1: Introduction ........................................................................................................1 1.1.

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. City Council will vote on the con- sultants’ final recommenda- tions this winter.

  • Full Comments Submitted by All the Respondents 1. GEORGE
    Full comments submitted by all the respondents 1. GEORGE ATANGA (WARD 12 RIDEAU-VANIER) I fully agree and thank you for this opportunity. 2. MARC AUBIN (WARD 12 Rideau-Vanier) If elected, I will advocate for making achieving architectural design excellence a top priority for City of Ottawa projects. AUBIN: I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. Particularly here in ward 12, the historic heart of the Nation's capital, where we have had bestowed upon us a number of landmark buildings from our forebears, we must find ways to press the private sector into a much higher standard of architectural excellence for new projects. This is all the more urgent now as we seem to be in the midst of a barrage of proposed new high rise projects in this ward. I would support the use of design competitions for significant municipal projects. AUBIN: Yes, I believe this is a requirement for significant municipal projects. It is through design competitions that we stimulate the creativity required to come up with the kind of results we need. Attaining carbon-neutral status for all Ottawa buildings by 2030 is a key priority for me. AUBIN: I am strongly supportive of such an initiative. The facts are clear that close to half of our greenhouse gas emissions in our City's climate are generated from our buildings and our buildings are with us for a long period of time. It is here that we have the biggest opportunity to address this environmental challenge. If elected, I will be an advocate for Ottawa's built cultural heritage.

  • Building a Memory
    Building a Memory Reactivating a Lineage of Community Life at Centretown’s 330 Gilmour Street By Emily Jung Essex A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfllment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020 Emily Jung Essex Abstract Centretown, one of Ottawa’s oldest residential neighbourhoods, has continuously been evolving since its establishment in the late 18th century. The 21st century pressure for densifcation in this now urban mixed-use neighbourhood is increasing the need for community resources, while at the same time pushing them out. Centretown’s vacant and neglected 330 Gilmour Street, the former Ottawa Public School Board Administration Building, provides a place to establish the missing public space within the community. By adaptively reusing all three additions - 1922, 1956 & 1963 - along with new interventions in 2020, Centretown’s newly established ‘Meeting Place’ binds itself to its lineage of intangible social histories as an expression of community memory characterizing each volume into four places - A Place to Be, Gather, Create and Grow. The four places under one roof assist in providing a burgeoning future for community life in Centretown through representing the historic lineage of community memory at the Meeting Place. Thesis Question _ How can representing the lineage of community memory at 330 Gilmour Street provide means for reimagining the future of community life in Centretown? ii Key Words & Definitions Key Words _ Ottawa, Centretown, Interpretation, Adaptive Reuse Community, Social Infrastructure Defnitions _ Lineage _ A linear sequence of growth evolved from the predecessor.
