    AUGUST 14, 2020 VOL. 25 NO. 7 THE CENTRETOWN BUZZ Capital Pride goes virtual, 4 Cooking for a Cause, 5 New ward options split Centretown Alayne McGregor The consultants hired to propose new boundaries for Ottawa’s city wards released their five options in June– and every option would split Somerset Ward in half and combine it with other wards. One option would split the ward at Bronson Avenue, a second at Kent Street, and three others at O’Connor Street–despite the consul- tants saying that preserving “geographic communities of interest” was a prime consid- eration in the review. The new ward boundar- ies will come into effect for the next city elections, in fall 2022, and would be in ef- fect until 2030 or 2034. City Council will vote on the con- sultants’ final recommenda- tions this winter.

  • Full Comments Submitted by All the Respondents 1. GEORGE
    Full comments submitted by all the respondents 1. GEORGE ATANGA (WARD 12 RIDEAU-VANIER) I fully agree and thank you for this opportunity. 2. MARC AUBIN (WARD 12 Rideau-Vanier) If elected, I will advocate for making achieving architectural design excellence a top priority for City of Ottawa projects. AUBIN: I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. Particularly here in ward 12, the historic heart of the Nation's capital, where we have had bestowed upon us a number of landmark buildings from our forebears, we must find ways to press the private sector into a much higher standard of architectural excellence for new projects. This is all the more urgent now as we seem to be in the midst of a barrage of proposed new high rise projects in this ward. I would support the use of design competitions for significant municipal projects. AUBIN: Yes, I believe this is a requirement for significant municipal projects. It is through design competitions that we stimulate the creativity required to come up with the kind of results we need. Attaining carbon-neutral status for all Ottawa buildings by 2030 is a key priority for me. AUBIN: I am strongly supportive of such an initiative. The facts are clear that close to half of our greenhouse gas emissions in our City's climate are generated from our buildings and our buildings are with us for a long period of time. It is here that we have the biggest opportunity to address this environmental challenge. If elected, I will be an advocate for Ottawa's built cultural heritage.

  • Building a Memory
    Building a Memory Reactivating a Lineage of Community Life at Centretown’s 330 Gilmour Street By Emily Jung Essex A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfllment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020 Emily Jung Essex Abstract Centretown, one of Ottawa’s oldest residential neighbourhoods, has continuously been evolving since its establishment in the late 18th century. The 21st century pressure for densifcation in this now urban mixed-use neighbourhood is increasing the need for community resources, while at the same time pushing them out. Centretown’s vacant and neglected 330 Gilmour Street, the former Ottawa Public School Board Administration Building, provides a place to establish the missing public space within the community. By adaptively reusing all three additions - 1922, 1956 & 1963 - along with new interventions in 2020, Centretown’s newly established ‘Meeting Place’ binds itself to its lineage of intangible social histories as an expression of community memory characterizing each volume into four places - A Place to Be, Gather, Create and Grow. The four places under one roof assist in providing a burgeoning future for community life in Centretown through representing the historic lineage of community memory at the Meeting Place. Thesis Question _ How can representing the lineage of community memory at 330 Gilmour Street provide means for reimagining the future of community life in Centretown? ii Key Words & Definitions Key Words _ Ottawa, Centretown, Interpretation, Adaptive Reuse Community, Social Infrastructure Defnitions _ Lineage _ A linear sequence of growth evolved from the predecessor.
