In lieu of additional printed copies, a PDF version of this plan can be downloaded at: www.ncc-ccn.gc.ca Capital Illumination Plan 2017-2027 MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER If I asked you to imagine one of the world’s great cities, your first mental picture might well be a night scene: urban architecture, streets and landscape features—topography, water, flora or perhaps even snow—revealed in an evocative play of light, darkness and chiaroscuro effects. The well-illuminated city is pleasurable and reassuring, orienting residents and visitors to meaningful landmarks, landforms, thoroughfares and pathways. As one of 17 milestone initiatives set out in the Plan for Canada’s Capital, 2017–2067, this innovative illumination plan for the core area of Canada’s Capital Region will become a legacy of Canada’s sesquicentennial. Over the coming decade, it will help transform the Capital’s nighttime core area into a memorable place that offers unique destinations and experiences, showcases its distinctive character, and is committed to a sustainable future. The Capital Illumination Plan builds on an emerging international movement in presenting a framework for showcasing nighttime landscapes.

Design Solutions for the Royal Alexandra Bridge
DESIGN SOLUTIONS FOR THE ROYAL ALEXANDRA BRIDGE FOR: PUBLIC SERVICES & PROCUREMENT CANADA EXSPAN STRUCTURAL CONSULTING SERVICES CHRISTOPHE CHAN SING HENNY DUONG KINGTON CHU SOFIA AN JULY 22, 2019 1 Christophe Chan Sing ExSpan Senior Project Manager 200 University Ave West Waterloo, Ontario Canada N2L 3G1 July 22, 2019 Dr. Nadine Ibrahim Senior Project Engineer Public Services and Procurement Canada 140 O'Connor Street Ottawa, Ontario Canada K1A 0S5 Dear Dr. Nadine Ibrahim: The Royal Alexandra Interprovincial Bridge is deteriorating and multiple rehabilitations have taken place over the last decade in an effort to extend the bridge’s service life. These constant rehabilitations have been costly to both the federal government and the local communities of Ottawa and Gatineau in terms of overall construction expense and traffic congestion. Our scope of work for Phase I of this project include an evaluation of possible design options related to either reconstructing the existing bridge or constructing a new complementary bridge. The evaluation was performed by analyzing and comparing in a weighted decision matrix each design option’s life cycle cost, innovativeness, construction impact, traffic flow, excess strength, and ability to preserve the existing bridge’s heritage. It was determined that constructing a box girder bridge to complement the existing bridge is the preferable option over reconstructing or continuing to rehabilitate the current bridge. Therefore, it is recommended that the complementary box girder bridge is chosen for Phase II of the project where it will undergo detailed design, be structurally analyzed, and have construction plans produced for it. Our technical advisor, Dr. Maria Anna Polak, was a great resource in guiding us through the first phase of this project.

The Changing Face of Canada's Parliament Buildings: an Analysis
The Changing Face of Canada’s Parliament Buildings: An Analysis of the Visual Representations Produced Between 1859 and 1927 by Michel Reichert Steinhauer A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art History Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016, Michel Reichert Steinhauer Abstract As we understand it today, Parliament Hill bears little resemblance to how it was seen or experienced in the past. Constructed between 1859 and 1927, the Parliamentary Precinct consists of a building grouping of singular architectural importance. The thesis examines the interplay between the original and added building components, and explores the change in function and situatedness of each building. The visual representations examined within this thesis permit an analysis of the Parliamentary Precinct both within and outside of the context of the new Centre Block. Following the emergence of a new primary façade, the analysis of the visual material points to a break of the original symmetrical building plan. Four distinct building elevations present a building grouping that once extended beyond one principal façade, but gradually emerged into a monumental façade synonymous today with Ottawa, the Government of Canada, and Canada itself. ii Acknowledgements Dr. Peter Coffman deserves special mention as the supervisor of this project. His support, thoughts and willingness to share his considerable expertise has greatly contributed to the development of this thesis. Many others have also been involved in the early development of this project; I extend my appreciation to staff and faculty of the School for Studies in Art and Culture and the Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Culture at Carleton University.
