  • Ottawa Experiences Ottawa Best the Ottawa’S Other Bond with Nature Is Its Rivers
    THE BEST OF 1 OTTAWA s a native of Ottawa, I’ve seen this city evolve over the past 5 decades from a sleepy civil-service Atown to a national capital that can proudly hold its own with any city of comparable size. The official population is more than 800,000, but the central core is compact and its skyline relatively short. Most Ottawans live in suburban, or even rural, communities. The buses are packed twice a day with government workers who live in communities like Kanata, Nepean, Gloucester, and Orleans, which were individually incorporated cities until municipal amalgamation in 2001. Although there are a number of residential neighborhoods close to downtown, you won’t find the kind of towering condominiums that line the downtown streets of Toronto or Vancouver. As a result, Ottawa is not the kind of city where the downtown side- walks are bustling with people after dark, with the excep- tion of the ByWard Market and Elgin Street. One could make the case that Ottawa would be very dull indeed were it not for Queen Victoria’s decision to anoint it capital of the newly minted Dominion of Canada. Thanks to her choice, tourists flock to the Parlia- ment Buildings, five major national museums, a handful of government- funded festivals, and the Rideau Canal. Increasingly, tourists are spreading COPYRIGHTEDout beyond the well-established attractions MATERIAL to discover the burgeoning urban neighborhoods like Wellington West and the Glebe, and venturing into the nearby countryside. For visitors, Ottawa is an ideal walking city. Most of the major attrac- tions—and since this is a national capital, there are many—are within easy walking distance of the major hotels.

  • Clemow Estate Preliminary Heritage Study
    Phase III: Clemow Estate Preliminary Heritage Study Clemow Estate (Phase III) Heritage Conservation District Study Preliminary Analysis and Recommendations 1.0 Introduction The area around Central Park in the Glebe was initially highlighted for its potential heritage value in 2004. Since then, the Clemow Estate East Heritage Conservation District was designated in 2011 and the Clemow Estate Heritage Conservation District Study Phase II is currently underway. The last remaining area for consideration is the area around Central Park, west of Bank Street. City Council approved the initial study of this area on October 27, 2004 through the following motion: Approve that this process be followed by Phase II, which would include Linden Terrace and Patterson Creek to the Canal, and by Phase III including Central Park and buildings adjacent to it west of Bank Street. The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the study area, its historic and architectural context and to provide recommendations for next steps. 2.0 Description of Study Area Central Park West is bounded by Lyon Street and Bank Street as well as Powell Avenue, Renfrew Avenue, Chamberlain Avenue and Rosebery Avenue. There are 26 properties adjacent to the park. 1 FIGURE 1: MAP OF THE STUDY AREA 2 3.0 Historic Background (Extract from the Clemow Estate East HCD Study and Plan) Following the glebe land grant in 1836 to the Church of Scotland, the land was subdivided and leased until 1875.1 By 1878, the glebe land east of the canal was sold and the rest of the land to the west of the canal became known as The Glebe.
