Located on the Ottawa River, these sites present an opportunity to reinvent a historically-rich, industrial space into a vibrant, world-class, sustainable, pedestrian oriented, mixed-use community. Through residential, commercial and communal developments, the Chaudière region can be reanimated to bring new life and energy to this once bustling heart of industry. The harmonious integration of modern sustainable infrastructure into the heritage fabric of Domtar Lands Redevelopment will provide the people of Ottawa and Gatineau with a new way to experience and appreciate the natural splendor of the Ottawa River. - Domtar Lands Redevelopment Vision Windmill Development Group Ltd. !!!! i !!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DOMTAR!

BARRY PADOLSKY ASSOCIATES INC.

This CHIS is focused on the portion of the former Domtar lands that fall under the jurisdiction of the City of Ottawa (Chaudière Island and Albert Island) in support of the Windmill re-zoning application. Although no parts of the Chaudière Islands within the City of Ottawa are formally subject to any heritage designation by the Government of Canada or the City of Ottawa (under the Ontario Heritage Act), the Chaudière Islands are, in our opinion, an historic place as defined by the Parks Canada “Standards and Guidelines for Historic Places in Canada”. We have studied the Development Proposal Master Plan and key documents including the Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office report (2010) and the draft City of Ottawa Statement of Heritage Values (2014). Our overall finding is that the proposed redevelopment, as illustrated in the Master Plan, will have a significant positive impact on the Chaudière historic place by triggering investment into a derelict industrial site, conserving a meaningful part of the abandoned former industrial architecture, and opening the entire historic place to public access for the first time in over 200 years.

  • 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River
    INTRODUCTION 76 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River In spite of the 360‐metre drop of the Ottawa Figure 2.27 “The Great Kettle”, between its headwaters and its mouth, the river has Chaudiere Falls been a highway for human habitation for thousands of years. First Nations Peoples have lived and traded along the Ottawa for over 8000 years. In the 1600s, the fur trade sowed the seeds for European settlement along the river with its trading posts stationed between Montreal and Lake Temiskaming. Initially, French and British government policies discouraged settlement in the river valley and focused instead on the lucrative fur trade. As a result, settlement did not occur in earnest until the th th late 18 and 19 centuries. The arrival of Philemon Source: Archives Ontario of Wright to the Chaudiere Falls and the new British trend of importing settlers from the British Isles marked the beginning of the settlement era. Farming, forestry and canal building complemented each other and drew thousands of immigrants with the promise of a living wage. During this period, Irish, French Canadians and Scots arrived in the greatest numbers and had the most significant impact on the identity of the Ottawa Valley, reflected in local dialects and folk music and dancing. Settlement of the river valley has always been more intensive in its lower stretches, with little or no settlement upstream of Lake Temiskaming. As the fur trade gave way to farming, settlers cleared land and encroached on First Nations territory. To supplement meagre agricultural earnings, farmers turned to the lumber industry that fuelled the regional economy and attracted new waves of settlers.

  • The Scots of Beechwood Tour
    The Scots of Beechwood The Scots have immigrated to Canada in steady and substantial numbers for over 200 years, with the connection between Scotland and Canada stretching farther — to the 17th century. Scots have been involved in every aspect of Canada's development as explorers, educators, businessmen, politicians, writers and artists. The Scots are among the first Europeans to establish themselves in Canada and are the third largest ethnic group in the country. With a history and heritage this long, it was only natural that the Scots of Ottawa found a home at Beechwood Cemetery. 1. TOMMY DOUGLAS - Section 64, Graves 285, 286 Born on October 20, 1904 in Falkirk, Scotland. In the fall of 1928, Tommy became a minister at Calvary Baptist Church in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. He felt first hand the harshness of the Depression in the prairies. Douglas knew that something had to be done for the common man. His experience with the vast unemployment and poverty transformed T.C. Douglas, the clergyman, into a social activist. By 1932, Douglas helped organize an Independent Labour Party in Weyburn of which he became president. The movement soon evolved into the Farmer Labour Party. This party offered hospital care for everyone on an equal basis, including unemployment insurance and universal pension. By July of 1932, the labour parties of the four western provinces formed an alliance under the name Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF). The CCF became Canada’s first national socialist party. In 1935, Douglas was elected into parliament under the CCF. By the early 40’s, Tommy moved away from the federal politics and became leader of the Saskatchewan provincial CCF party (1942) while maintaining his seat in the House of Commons.

  • Phase II: Clemow Estate Heritage Study: Area Analysis and Recommendations
    Phase II: Clemow Estate Heritage Study: area analysis and recommendations 1 Phase II Clemow Estate Heritage Conservation District Study – Area Analysis and Recommendations 1.0 Background In 2004, Ottawa’s City Council recommended undertaking a multi-phased Heritage Conservation Study of three areas of the Glebe surrounding Central Park. The intention was to provide an overall understanding of the history and cultural heritage character of the area and, to determine if a Heritage Conservation District would be an appropriate planning tool to recognize and protect the area by managing change over time. In 2011, the first phase of the study resulted in the designation of the Clemow Estate East Heritage Conservation District under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. For Phase II, Council’s original direction was to study the properties adjacent to Linden Terrace and Patterson Creek to the Rideau Canal. However, the research for Phase I indicated that the original Clemow Estate also included the western section of Clemow Avenue from Bronson Avenue to Bank Street. The research also showed that there was a historical and physical association between Clemow and Monkland Avenues, as part of Ottawa’s parkway and driveway network. Accordingly, the study area that was part of the original terms of reference was amended to include Monkland Avenue. 2.0 Description of the Study Area The Phase II study area includes three streets in the Glebe neighborhood: Clemow Avenue between Bronson Avenue and Bank Street, Monkland Avenue and Linden Terrace between O’Connor Street and the Rideau Canal. The area also includes Patterson Creek and its associated park land.

  • Newer Chelsea, As Distinct from Old Chelsea
    / A TALE OF TWO CHELSEAS The following pages are about the newer Chelsea, as distinct from Old Chelsea. The area covered is the road between the two Chelseas (once designated as High Street), and along the highway (11/105" ) between Mile Hill to the Chelsea Pioneer Cemetery. Also included are some offshoot roads where there are farms and other habitations of historic interest. 'For the purpose of this tale the highway from Hull to Maniwaki is shown as 11/105. This highway was known for many years as No. 11, but is currently No. 105 73 - The Road From Wright's Town (Hull) to Chelsea Joseph Bouchette in his book "A Topographical Dictionary of the Province of Lower Canada", published in London in 1832, describes Philemon Wright's method of road construction. "This road is called Britannia [now Aylmer] Road and extends seven miles. Being the first road made in this township, the mode of forming it may be interesting as well as useful; Mr. Wright first marked it out as far as the lake [Deschenes], then ploughed it on each side and threw the earth to the centre to form the top into low places, built bridges and paved the road, where necessary, with broken stones; he also built stores at each end for the deposit of different kinds of goods for the accommodation of the upper country. From Columbia Farm two roads branch off in different directions. One, passing along the edge of Columbia Pond [now Leamy Lake], leads to the Gatineau Farm, remarkable as being the spot selected by Mr.
