The following study presents the corridor as it was, as it is, and as it could be. Through a series of recommendations, this report intends to offer a vision of the corridor as an urbanized, livable, and beautiful corridor in keeping with the Official Plan’s Avenues policies and based on the following principles: Locating new and denser housing types that encourage a mix of use, make efficient use of lands, frame the right-of-way, are appropriately massed and attractively designed.

  • Downsview Park: City Planning Through the Development of a Model Sustainable Community
    Sustainable Development and Planning III 209 Downsview Park: City planning through the development of a model sustainable community T. Genco Parc Downsview Park Inc., Canada Abstract Downsview Park is a story of transformation. From its roots as a former military base, Parc Downsview Park Inc. (PDP) seeks to transform the site into a unique urban recreation greenspace for the enjoyment of future generations on a self financing basis. Key to doing this is the creation of a national urban park that then creates a community around it to support, nurture and transform it. The process is complex and requires the support of a variety of stakeholders that surround the site as well as national partners on behalf of the national government of Canada that PDP take on the task without any direct financial support from the federal government, just the opportunity created through the land. The process has begun with the creation of the park design that is the result of 179 expressions of interest from 22 countries around the world and is built on the values of sustainability, stewardship, play, legacy and beauty. In combination these values are the corporate themes of heritage, innovation, technology, community and environment and are woven in to form an integrated theme. The site is undergoing a transformation that includes the possibility of a subway development and the creation of an urban development plan and sustainable community development guidelines that become a calling card to the marketplace of ideas and the potential of leading edge technologies and opportunities. This paper explores the challenges that have been presented to date and the progress that has been made and the opportunity to bring more partners into the planning in order to demonstrate how such a transformation can happen with hard work, commitment and determination to get the job done right.

An enrollment form for submission of your dues may be found near the end of this newsletter. Mr. Cliff Beauchamp 1727 Boyer Rd.

Mailing and printing costs have greatly increased and the RCDCA bank balance has been falling for years so that we cannot continue the trend. In addition several RCDCA members have not been paying their dues; thus, we have contacted them asking them to pay their past dues and to keep current. Many acted and are now fully paid up but several declined to respond and have been removed from the RCDCA membership. Moving forward we are going to pay much closer attention to those who do not pay their dues. Please take a look at the date on the address label of the envelope that contained your newsletter because it shows the year for which you are paid up; so for example if it says 2011 that means you have not paid for 2012.

Hopefully, 2014 was a successful year for all of you and your museums and that 2015 is off to a great start, even though it’s well below freezing across the country. We are moving along very well for an interesting and informative OMMC course and conference that is being held in Ottawa in mid June. It should be a time well spent for the benefit of our museums, please plan on attending. Enjoy the rest of the winter, Stuart Beaton Message from the Secretary By David Stinson, Secretary OMMC Anyone reading the Bulletin will have thought that the annual OMMC courses have moved around some over the years - they did indeed! The Organization began to take good shape in the mid-1960s and was founded in 1967 under the sponsorship of the Canadian War Museum. I have not yet found the locations for the courses in 1967, 1968 and 1969 - any clues will be welcome. However, the archives do show where “we have wandered” beginning in 1970: 1970 - Ottawa (hosted by Canadian War Museum (CWM)) 1971 - CFB Borden 1972 - CFB Chilliwack 1973 - CFB Halifax 1974 - CFB Montreal 1975 - CFB Calgary 1976 - RMC Kingston 1977 - CFB Halifax 1978 - US Military Academy, West Point 1979 - CFB Ottawa 1980 - CFB Toronto 1981 - CFB Saint-Jean 1982 - CFB Gagetown 1983 - RRMC Victoria 1984 - CFB Borden Continued on next page..
