I mentioned, at that time, that Joe’s wife, Helen, was an interesting character on her own. Born in Bateman, Saskatchewan, a village of about 300 people at its peak, Helen Bedford was a one- year-old when the First World War ended. She lived a normal life in a small town; went to school from kindergarten to grade 11 at the same small local school; played in the wheat fields around the town; and longed to get out of Bateman to see the world.

  • 4.0 Stormwater Management
    LRT TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT STUDY AREAS SERVICING OVERVIEW Final Draft Report, December 2013 4.0 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT 4.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS Figure 4-1 shows the overall study area with associated stormwater infrastructure. In discussion with the City of Ottawa, no rehabilitation on the major sewers is planned within the next three years that would reduce trunk capacity. Similarly to the sanitary servicing, the major divides in the study area for storm servicing are Highway 417 and St. Laurent Boulevard. Overall, there are no major constraints on stormwater servicing in the study area. City staff have identified areas south of the Train study area to have shallow storm sewers and to be partially separated. Outlets to the Rideau River are influenced by the river’s water level however the zone of influence upstream in the sewer network has not yet been traced. There are few reports of flooding due to stormwater within the study area. rep_TOD_Servicing_131202_Final_Draft_Report.docx 4.1 370000 372000 374000 ± 5032000 5032000 5030000 5030000 0 250 500 m 1:30,000 V:\01225\active\other_pc\163401180\GIS\MXD\Figure_Updates_18012013\163401180_Fig4-1_Stormwater_Trunk_Infra.mxdRevised: 2013-10-22 By: ncruikshank 370000 372000 374000 October 2013 Project No.: 163401180 Legend Notes Client/Project 1.
