The Plan for Canada’s Capital, which will guide development of federal lands over the next 50 years, focuses heavily on enhancement and enrichment of the core area of the Capital. These are the highlights: iii LeBreton Flats Protracted negotiations between the NCC and the other two landowners — the Region of Ottawa-Carleton and the City of Ottawa — have finally been concluded. The resulting consolidation of land under NCC ownership has given rise to a plan that will bring life back to one of the Capital’s most historic neighbour- hoods. The core area concept shows residences and shops, national institutions and expansive parks framed by the Ottawa River on one side and by a historic aqueduct, recently restored, on the other.
