  • Welcome to Kanata North Message from Councillor Wilkinson
    WELCOME TO KANATA NORTH MESSAGE FROM COUNCILLOR WILKINSON anata North is the most fantastic ward in the City of Ottawa. As well as the Kanata North Business K Park, the largest employment area outside the City core, it contains natural environment lands, a provincially significant wetland, distinctive residential areas, the town centre that serves both Kanata North and Kanata South, schools, churches and retail areas. Just across Highway 417 is Canadian Tire Place, the home of the Ottawa Senators, and under construction is an outlet mall and Bass Pro Shop. I’ve had the great opportunity of representing this area on municipal councils for 25 years, with 9 of those years as Head of Council and 7 of those years as Mayor of Kanata, when Kanata was a separate municipality. My job is to serve all aspects of the community, from individual con- cerns to dealing with large developments and the services they need. Welcome to Kanata North. Feel free to contact me via phone 613-580-2474 or email Marianne.Wilkinson@ ottawa.ca if you have any concerns or suggestions to make Kanata North an even better place. MESSAGE FROM KANATA NORTH BIA anata North is a fantastic place to live, work and play.
