This site at 1681 Cyrville Road is currently occupied by worshippers of the Calvary Pentecostal Church. This denomination is “Christian” in its’ belief system which uses the original “Bible” as the true word of God. The belief and theology under this premise are the key pillars to the practise of worship. The church is the body of Christ, the habitation of god through the spirit with divine appointments for the fulfillment of great commissions. The worshippers are charged with the responsibility to seek and save by building a body of believers. To be a channel of God’s purpose to build a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son (Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Corinthians 12:28; 14:12). 2.0 Historical Context and General Implications of this site. The area of the proposed project is on the western edge of Pineview. Pineview was a part of the City of Gloucester prior to the amalgamation to the City of Ottawa. It is geographically defined by the highway 417 to the north, Innes Rd. to the south, Blair Rd. to the east and Cyrville Rd. to the west. The development of the neighbourhood is relatively young and has only really transpired over a 55 year period since 1961. 3 | P a g e Urban Design Strategy for Calvary Pentecostal Church – 1681 Cyrville Road, Ottawa The neighbourhood development has been gradual but emphasizes the fact that this area is a fringe area that transitions between Industrial use and Residential use. It allows for hybrid growth and an eclectic mix of occupancies. 1958 – The subject site was vacant and the evident usage on all adjoining parcels was farming. FIG 1 1976 – The site is still vacant despite the fact that the adjoining parcels in the neighbourhood have started to include residential to the east and commercial development to the west. FIG 2 4 | P a g e Urban Design Strategy for Calvary Pentecostal Church – 1681 Cyrville Road, Ottawa 1991 – After 1990, the residential development of the entire neighbourhood peaked and the subject site remained undeveloped. The characteristics of that neighbourhood like any other in the City had a need for a religious institution. FIG 3 1999 – The subject site indeed did have the current building constructed in 1997 as evidenced by the image shot in 1999. The denomination is the Calvary Pentecostal church and their commencement at this site is in keeping with the overall mission statement “building a body of believers” previously stated in the introduction to this document. FIG 4 The neighbourhood has certain needs that are matched by the programming of this church. This area has a demographic that is 73.1% Christian in comparison to the City of Ottawa average of 65.5%. There is no Community Centre and Recreation Centre and there is a need for Child Care Programs and Youth Services at this location. The programming requirements of this project are directly related to fulfilling these needs. (See section 3.0 for the breakdown of programming proposed). 5 | P a g e Urban Design Strategy for Calvary Pentecostal Church – 1681 Cyrville Road, Ottawa The subject site is zoned an I1 with an E sub-zone in Ward 11. Under Part 7 sub-section 169 – 170 by-law 2013-224 designated as a place of worship. In a typical phase of Program Development there needs to be consideration of key items as listed below. This has been done after careful consideration. Understanding how the work processes support the mission and purpose of the facility. Definition of spatial requirements for occupant activities and equipment in the program. Understanding the functional relationships among the programmed spaces. Accommodation of all building systems and equipment. Consideration of serviceability requirements. 3.0 Programming for this Place of Worship – 1681 Cyrville Rd.

Ensuring a timeless building typology that is contextually rich and appropriate for the area. Helping to maintain the pedestrian component and relationship to the street entries. Embodying but not trying to duplicate the architectural character of any existing placements in the neighbourhood. Maintaining the streetscape continuity along Cyrville Rd. based on the City of Ottawa’s conservation and infill guidelines. Using materials, textures, colours, patterns and detailing that are discrete but consistent with the context while advocating leading edge technology. The overall building square footage needs and the integration of the new addition has met the programming requirements established in section 3.0 so now the best fit in addressing the site context has to be explored without compromising the programming objectives that are paramount to the success of the Fellowship Outreach Campaign. This particular place of worship (Calvary Pentecostal) has a history that started in 1997. It is the continuation as a place of worship in a different location since they initiated fellowship originally in 1963. Over time, the worshippers have outgrown their sanctuary and related support functions. They have an increased need in their ability to remain self-sufficient with an outreach program. The critical challenge on a tight budget is an ambitious program to accommodate approximately 750 worshippers, operate community functions by means of a multi-purpose space, pre-school ministries and classrooms. Since 1997, the building has provided space for a multi-generational and multi-cultural group of people to fellowship; to connect; to grow and to serve the greater community of Ottawa.

  • 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.

  • Civic Engagement of Residents
    MAKING VOICES COUNT A KIT FOR ENGAGING CITY DECISION MAKERS ABOUT THIS KIT FALL 2016 This kit encourages the long-term civic engagement of residents. It helps residents bring community concerns to the attention of City decision-makers so that positive change happens. This kit originated from an initiative originally called Making Votes Count, funded by the Ontario Trillium Foun- dation and the Catherine Donnelly Foundation, engaging Ottawa residents living on low-income in elections (2013-2016). Currently called Making Voices Count (MVC), with additional funds from United Way Ottawa, MVC is an initiative of the Coalition of Community Health and Resource Centres, the City for All Women Initiative (CAWI), community partners and residents to work with City of Ottawa decision-makers to create a city for all. This Civic Engagement Kit was identified by the Coalition of Community Health and Resource Centres (CCHRC) as an important tool for its staff, Board members and advocacy groups to help the Coalition build the long-term civic engagement of residents and bring issues to the City of Ottawa for change. City for All Women Initiative (CAWI) remains committed to its history of training and support- ing women to have a voice in city decision making. In using this kit, we can influence and bring positive change for the health and wellbeing of all Ottawa residents. We especially want to engage residents whose voices are least likely to be heard by City decision makers, including women from diverse backgrounds, people who are racialized, Aboriginal, LGBTQ+, newcomers, older adults, youth, people living with a disability, and/or people living in poverty and rural residents.

    MARKETBEAT Ottawa, ON Industrial Q2 2020 YoY 12-Mo. ECONOMY Chg Forecast State of emergency measures were put into effect across Ontario beginning in mid-March. At this time there were a number of business closures, travel restrictions, and isolation protocols in effect to maintain a level of physical distance. These measures 4.2% caused an abrupt shutdown of the Canadian economy at an unprecedented rate. This shock to the Canadian labour market has Vacancy Rate resulted in employment loss of upwards of 3 million people. Ottawa is sitting at an unemployment rate of 7.7%, up 2.5% year-over- year. Now that restrictions have begun to gradually decrease and businesses are tentatively reopening, there is a continuous eye on labour market levels. This gradual easing of restrictions, while beneficial to Canadian businesses, will also pose its own 275 challenges.

  • Presentation to the City of Ottawa Ward Boundary Review
    1 Presentation to the City of Ottawa Ward Boundary Review My name is Alex Cullen. I am currently President of the Belltown Neighbours Association, in Bay Ward, and Vice-President of the Federation of Citizens Associations, but I am here in my personal capacity, not theirs. I am also a former member of the Regional Council of Ottawa-Carleton, which moved to direct election by regional ward in 1994. I was elected then as Regional Councilllor for Bay Ward. I was also elected to the newly amalgamated City of Ottawa in 2000, representing Bay Ward again. In 2006, following a ward boundary review, I was re-elected as City Councillor for Bay Ward. I bring to this table my experience having gone through 3 ward boundary reviews in Ottawa. I am very familiar with the concept of “effective representation”, as espoused by the Supreme Court of Canada. The foundation is the democratic principle of one-person one-vote, but qualified by recognizing geography, communities of interest, capacity to represent, and future population growth. These are important factors, but must have compelling justification to impinge on the foundation principle of one-person one-vote. You are here because there is an imbalance of representation on the current City Council. Based on 2018 population figures Ottawa City Council has wards that vary from 61,528 people (Barrhaven Ward) to 25,644 people (West Carleton-March Ward). The overall ward average is 43,106 for Ottawa’s 23 wards. Currently Council has 3 wards that exceed 20% of that average (Barrhaven, Gloucester-South Nepean, College Wards) and 4 wards that are below the 20% threshold (West Carleton-March, Osgoode, Rideau-Goulbourn, Beacon Hill-Cyrville).
