What if bunkhouses were beautiful? Would we like them better? Trina Cooper- WBolam (Director, Action Sandy Hill) and Dr. Rebecca Dolgoy (Instructor, Carleton University) acted on that idea recently. These innovators organized a charrette (a collaborative session in which participants develop solutions to design problems) to redesign a bunkhouse. First, however, they had to have the bunkhouse. This takes the story back to last January and a community project called Cultural Memory Workshop hosted at allsaints. The workshop was planned to discuss the challenges facing Sandy Hill and to The bunkhouse in question, at 515 Chapel, develop priorities and ideas for creating positive change in our with three units and 18 bedrooms neighbourhood. It was clear that bunkhouses were a big chal- lenge to our community. Photo Larry Newman The ensuing discussion led to the idea of rehabilitating a bunk- house. Property developer Jeremy Silbert was present at the workshop and he, after giving the idea a little time to digest, of- fered one of his properties for the project. -

This plan constitutes an update of the Strategic Development Plan for an Integrated Network of Recreational Pathways for the National Capital Region (1994), and presents a comprehensive strategy and vision for the planning, management and expansion of the pathway network. The 2006 Strategic Plan will guide agencies responsible for the pathway network within Canada’s Capital Region, in addressing the opportunities and challenges of the coming decade with respect to the Capital’s multi-use pathways. The expansive Capital Pathway network is regarded, by residents and visitors alike, as one of our region’s most valued recreational assets and is considered by many to be one of North America’s finest. The network not only connects national and regional attractions, communities and major green spaces, but also promotes environmental conservation, alternative modes of transportation and healthy lifestyles. -

North Wind 2 April - June 2014 Conservation John Omohundro
NorthThe Laurentian Chapter of the AdirondackWind Mountain Club St. Lawrence & Ottawa River Valley Region April - June 2014 About two years ago our chapter introduced its first Educational Affiliate Program (EAP). This concept, created by incoming ADK President John Gilewicz, allows a chapter to create a special arrangement with a college under which students can become ADK student members for only $25 per year. The chapter undertakes to provide special programming for the students, which depending on local circumstances may include instructional clinics, trips for students only, and other special benefits. There are a couple of all-Club EAP weekends during the year: College Weekend at Heart Lake in October, offering camping and a wide variety of presentations, clinics, and hikes; and Winter Adirondacks Trip in February, which features a couple of nights at Johns Brook Lodge and a winter ascent of one of the nearby High Peaks. The Laurentian Chapter’s EAP with SUNY Potsdam now has thirteen student members, and many more students have come on an outing or two to try the program. There is a growing group of experienced chapter leaders, augmented by some SUNY Potsdam staff members, who are helping lead trips and organize the program. SUNY Potsdam Student Government Association is providing on-campus publicity and sign-up support along with transportation at no charge to students and leaders on EAP trips. Three Laurentian EAP outings have gone ahead this fall, to Debar and Azure as well as a huge student turnout on Stone Valley trail maintenance weekend, which was co-listed as a regular and an EAP trip. -
RFMDTS Projects
March 2012 Towards a master plan for trails in Merrickville-Wolford Towards a master plan for trails in Merrickville-Wolford: the next step Introduction and guide to this document: The Merrickville District Trails Society (MDTS) produced a discussion paper on this subject in November 2010. An integral version of this paper can be found at the end of this document, and can be used to find necessary or desired information – we will not repeat it here. It was presented formally at a meeting of the Municipal Council in May 2011 and, after a generally very favorable and encouraging reception, was tabled for further discussion by Council. Council subsequently asked us to present a Master Plan for development, including timelines and estimated costs, including capital costs. We understand that Council would prefer to defer any decisions about governance of a municipal trails system until we are further along in the Master Plan. The MDTS Executive was very pleased with the favorable response of Council, but we were concerned about our capacity at this time to develop a Master Plan proposal with sufficient detail, particularly with respect to generating accurate capital costs. After some discussion we did decide, however, that we certainly would be able to move this project forward another useful step by further describing our projects and needs, establishing some priorities and timelines, and providing sufficient detail on the desired outcomes. We have also taken this a step further, quantifying as best we can the resources, in terms of materials and labour, necessary to reach the desired end states. This in turn has permitted us to estimate the value of the likely overall capital improvements, and these are submitted for each project, as well as for the whole trails network over the next five years. -

The Gamman House is a modest one-and- a-half story, mansard-roofed, wood frame cottage constructed in 1875 by Nathaniel and Mary Gamman, early residents of the area. The house was part of the community of Janeville that developed along Montreal Road from the Cummings Bridge in the 1870s. Its boundaries were the Rideau River to the west, Deschamps to the north, the former Vanier/ Ottawa municipal Family photo: Donated by the Gamman family to W boundary to the east and McArthur to the south.
