Catherine.Mckenna@Parl.Gc.Ca; Melanie.Joly@Parl.Gc.Ca June 2, 2016 VIA Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Dear Minister McKenna and Minister Joly, On behalf of the Old Ottawa East Community Association and the Glebe Community Association, we would like to express our appreciation for your work and the recent installation of the Rideau Canal paddling access points and docks at Patterson Creek in the Glebe and at the foot of Clegg Street on the Old Ottawa East side. These new access points are a wonderful improvement for local residents which better animate the Canal in its central Ottawa portion. Over the docks’ initial weeks we’ve seen considerable use by all sorts of paddlers and many others have simply wandered out on to the dock to enjoy the brand new perspectives. Being on the water or the docks rather than standing behind the guard railing is a far more engaged way to experience the Rideau Canal. Congratulations and thank you to Parks Canada staff who developed a superior and safe design for the docks, which are more substantial than we had originally envisaged. By way of minor feedback for use in any other new docks, surfaces a little lower would facilitate easier kayak entry. We will provide additional feedback to Parks Canada in the fall to assist in their evaluation of the dock pilot project. We enjoyed how Minister McKenna officially opened the Patterson installation and led the canoe and kayak flotilla to the parliamentary end of the Canal. It was a fun, active, participatory and engaging event - a delight to share with the Minister of Environment and Climate Change. Best wishes, Phyllis Odenbach Sutton Christine McAllister President, Old Ottawa East Community Association President, Glebe Community Association 61 Main Street 175 Third Avenue Ottawa ON, K1S 1B3 Ottawa, ON K1S 2K2 [email protected] cc: Mr. Jim Watson, Mayor, City of Ottawa Mr. David Chernushenko, Councillor, Ward 17 (Capital) .

    By Email January 15, 2021 Mayor Jim Watson 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1 Dear Mayor Watson: Poorly Conceived Ward Boundary Change (uOttawa - Lees Campus) Affecting Capital Ward The Old Ottawa East Community Association respectfully requests that a change made during the course of the Ward Boundary Review be reversed before the by-law is proclaimed January 27, 2021. The change does not meet the City’s criteria required for a ward boundary change. Specifically, on December 9, 2020 City Council approved ward boundary changes that included the transfer of the University of Ottawa’s Lees Avenue campus from Capital Ward to Rideau-Vanier. This transfer was introduced by an unknown party near the end of the lengthy ward boundary consultation process but the Old Ottawa East Community Association and the Old Ottawa East community were not made aware of the change until after FEDCO had blessed it. Specifically, the “Recommendations Report” for Council recommended: “Move the Gee-Gees sports field from W6-19 (Capital) to W6-17 (Rideau-Vanier). The reasons given refer to a better boundary (the River rather than Highway 417) and the area’s association with sports facilities directly to the north in Rideau-Vanier. In the recommended ward boundary configuration, the Gee-Gees sports field is moved from W6-19 to W6-17. There are no residents in this area.” (p23) The report later says: “At Robinson Park and Gee Gees Field, #417 is not a big boundary; use the River instead.” (p34) …/2 - 2 - The fundamental criterion for making ward boundary changes is to “achieve voter parity." The transfer of the Lees campus will be detrimental to voter parity because Rideau-Vanier is forecast to grow faster than Capital.

    April 20, 2016 VIA Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Dear Minister McKenna and Minister Joly, We write to you today to advocate for increased access to the Rideau Canal for canoers and kayakers in central Ottawa. Parks Canada currently provides docks at the downtown Ottawa locks, at the Hartwell Locks (near Carleton University), and at Dow’s Lake. We feel that the addition of docks between downtown and Dow’s Lake would greatly increase the accessibility of the canal in the summer. It would provide more opportunities for Ottawa residents and tourists to enjoy paddling through an urban centre and to make use of this UNESCO heritage site. In addition, by facilitating the use of non-motorized watercraft, environmentally-sustainable and healthy leisure activities would be promoted. We are interested in collaborating with Parks Canada and the National Capital Commission on a pilot project that would see two additional launching points for a summer - one on each side of the canal in the Glebe and Old Ottawa East. On the west (Glebe) side, we would recommend Patterson Creek or at Fifth Avenue (just south of the Canal Ritz restaurant). (This second location could also be useful for those wanting to visit the revitalized Lansdowne Park.) On the east (Old Ottawa East) side, we would recommend a dock at Clegg, Herridge or Hazel. There would be a floating dock in each location to facilitate safe boat launches. After the summer, we would recommend an evaluation of the project and consideration as to whether it would be possible to establish more launching points in future years.

  • Context and Concludes with a Summary of Needs and Opportunities, Which Sets the Stage for the Campus Master Plan
    2 The Campus Master Plan acknowledges uOttawa’s historical development and responds to the campus’s urban setting and physical condition. It also considers growth projections and broader campus trends that will influence future development. This section describes the planning context and concludes with a summary of needs and opportunities, which sets the stage for the Campus Master Plan. Context 2.1 Brief History of Campus Development The University of Ottawa was founded in 1848 2 on the grounds of Notre Dame Cathedral in Lower Town. In 1856, the College moved to a new building between Wilbrod and Theodore (now Laurier) in what is now known as the CONTEXT Sandy Hill Campus. The University has changed dramatically since 1856. Then, it was the College of Bytown - a small, all-male Catholic college created and administered by the Oblate Fathers of Mary Immaculate. During and after WWII the University saw construction of several new buildings, and enrollment increased significantly as veterans and young people were encouraged to seek higher education. The growth and development that has occurred in the past 50 years, guided by a series of master plans, has dramatically changed the Figure 2-1 1903 Campus Plan main campus of the University.

  • Ottawa East Revitalization By: Kevin Ballantyne
    Ottawa East Revitalization By: Kevin Ballantyne The Ottawa East community that surrounds Main Street is set for significant changes as there are several visions for this former village (annexed in 1907). The area could be turned into an urban village which is defined as having a main street with shops and commercial outlets surrounded by residential areas along the connecting side streets. Some of the visions for Ottawa East call for the houses along the main street to be upgraded and left for residential purposes. Others call for some of the buildings to be torn down and replaced with newer buildings, a situation which has already occurred in a number of locations along Main Street. However, this type of change is more a form of urban renewal than urban revitalization. This paper will mostly look at the possibility of revitalizing Ottawa East and turning it into an urban village. It will also compare the community to others in the city where revitalization has been carried out to create several urban villages. Study Area The area which this paper will look at is bordered the by Rideau Canal to the west and north, Nicholas Street to the northeast, the Rideau River to the east, and Riverdale Avenue and Centennial Boulevard to the south (Figure 1). The study area is about 15.8 square kilometres. There are two census tracts located within the study area. The first is the main tract for Ottawa East that has a population of 5,8651. The other tract within the study area also encompasses part of Ottawa South (along Riverdale) and has a population of 4,3052.
