  • The Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode Community Resource Centre
    What is the Nepean, Rideau Osgoode Community Resource Centre? The Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode Community Resource Centre (NROCRC) is a community based social service centre working in partnership with individuals, families and communities to promote optimal health, wellness and quality of life. Our office is located at Emerald Plaza in Nepean, Ontario and we serve a large proportion of the population throughout Ottawa. NROCRC is non-profit charitable organization and our services and programs are free. Our Charitable NO is 12139 6428 RR0002. The community our agency serves is large, diverse and mobile. Immigrant families, families new to the area, youth, and a growing senior population present a wide variety of needs. NROCRC supports Ottawa’s largest community population: over 200,000 people. NROCRC’s catchment area is also the largest out of all the community resource centres in Ottawa. At this time, the Tools 4 School Program is seeking donations and registrants for its 2015 campaign. What is the Tools 4 School Program? The Tools 4 School program was developed in the spring of 2000 after local newspapers acknowledged the need for school supplies for local school-aged children. This need for basic school supplies is linked directly with lower self- esteem in students and contributes to diminished school performance for children and youth in our communities. The Tools 4 School program collects the much needed supplies for school-aged children in the Ottawa Community through donations, community wide supply drives, strong partnerships and corporate challenges. Every year, the Tools 4 School program distributes school supplies to children and youth in need at the start of the school year (September 2015).

In response to the specific questions posed in the Tribunal’s e-mail, Canada confirms its position that the information that it seeks is both (i) not in the schedules in Section 10 and the figures in Appendix B of the Deloitte Expert Report (CER-1); and (ii) cannot be deduced from the information the Claimant has provided in its submission of August 7, 2020, including the Memorial, the Deloitte Expert Report, and accompanying documents. Canada explains in more detail below. First, the Claimant states that its damages model could be recreated by copying and pasting the figures provided in Schedules 1-8 into Excel.1 This is incorrect.

  • 1. History Place of Peace
    1. History Place of peace Canada in the early 19th century was a magnet for young, ambitious immigrants. One of these was young Joseph Merrill Currier from Vermont. He came north in 1837 at the young age of 17, and stayed to make a fortune in the lumber trade. In 1853, he brought his young family to the village of New Edinburgh on the Rideau River, where he rented a lumber mill at the Rideau Falls. By 1855, Joseph and Christina Currier had four children and were thriving as part of the business elite of Ottawa. Then tragedy struck. That year, three of the children died, followed — an inconsolable three years later — by their mother. In the next few years, Currier tried his hand at politics — provincial and national — and he married again. His young wife died in an industrial accident within two months of the wedding. In 1868, he took a third wife, Hannah Wright, the granddaughter of pioneers. Joseph built a house as a wedding gift to his wife, setting it near the forests and water that had made his fortune. As an omen that his personal sufferings were at an end, he called the house “Gorffwysfa,” which means “place of peace” in Welsh. 24 Sussex Drive gatehouse and residence Social life Hannah and Joseph Currier moved into their new house in 1868 and almost immediately held a reception for 500 people, including virtually all of elite society in young Ottawa, including Sir John A. and Lady Macdonald. Two years later, they held a ball in honour of young Prince Arthur, son of Queen Victoria, and later Duke of Connaught and Governor General of Canada.
