There is a sense of place, a uniqueness here that is palpable. Parliament Hill, dominated by the Parliament Buildings and the Peace Tower, presides as the most majestic and powerful symbol of this Capital: a magnificent assembly of buildings, breathtaking in their grandeur, atop the wild wooded escarpment, on the edge of the mighty Ottawa River. Open lawns surrounding these exemplary heritage buildings are filled with people, eager to touch this magical place, this heritage site, this bold representation of the Canadian democracy. There is a feeling of shared destiny, of nationhood, of common ground - this place belongs to all Canadians, it is "home away from home". A beautiful street passes in front of Parliament Hill - Confederation Boulevard - alive with animation and storytelling, commemorations to Canadian heroes and milestones, places for people to gather. This street encircles the core area of this Capital, crossing the Ottawa River, linking a spectacular collection of national museums and institutions of superior design that tell the Canadian story and showcase the nation's treasures. This is Canada's Discovery Route, its avenue of history and culture. Capital stages along this boulevard present festivals and celebrations to the amusement and enrichment of all. Views northward to the ancient Gatineau Hills and along the Ottawa River bring the sense of Canada's wilderness into the heart of the Capital. Visitors experience a rare urban landscape rich with green and blue, open spaces and water - that shines forth in the splendour of autumn colours and in winter is transformed into a wonderland of snow and ice. This Capital is a four-season city, taking advantage of the different experiences that each season offers. It is also a city of lights, where the evening setting is enlivened by beautifully illuminated symbols and features that invite exploration, discovery and enjoyment. An integrated system of parks, open space corridors and pathway linkages provides a natural setting for the core area, bringing people to nature, to water edges, and onto the waterways themselves to connect to destinations and places of interest. This capital showcase is linked with and knitted into the interesting and lively surrounding precincts and neighbourhoods, each with their own character and flavour. A unique blend of the old and new, stately heritage buildings are mixed with modern structures, housing offices of govern- NTRODUCTION ment, business and special organizations.

Safe, well-designed pedestrian networks and public spaces, from the small to the grand, connect different precincts. To the people, these public places present arts and culture, routes filled with his- tory and interesting stories, and places to rest, sit and view the surroundings. High standards of environmental stewardship and respect are evident everywhere - in the design of buildings, landscapes and streets, in the efficient use of infrastructure, in the naturalization of select sites, in the sleek and integrated systems of transit and Chaudières Falls, looking west movement within the core and connecting to outlying urban areas. This is a city, but it is so much more than just a city - it is the capital of a nation, proud and free, celebrating its achievements and the identity and aspirations of its people, in a setting of natural and built beauty. To achieve this vision, the Capital must continue to evolve, for the benefit of future generations, building upon accomplishments already realized, continuing to dream of what it can yet become.

  • National Arts Centre, Ottawa, Ontario
    REPORT | RAPPORT NATIONAL ARTS CENTRE, OTTAWA, ONTARIO RHona Goodspeed has been an architectural >RHONA GOODSPEED historian with Parks Canada since 1990. During that time she has worked on a range of subjects, including military complexes, historic districts, cultural landscapes, ecclesiastical buildings, houses, and other building types. DESIGNATION The National Arts Centre (NAC) was desig- nated a national historic site of Canada in 2005. The reasons for its designation are the following. It is an outstanding example of a performing arts centre in Canada for its overall design, its highly successful integration into its urban set- ting, its succession of interior spaces to create dramatic effect, its unique com- bination of performing spaces and the progressive designs of each one, and its integration of contemporary works of art as part of its design. It is an outstand- ing example of a building illustrating the positive consequences of Canadian federal policy on the performing arts during the second half of the twenti- eth century, considered, in the words of Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, as a “national institution.” It is an example of state-of-the-art performing spaces and technology at the time of construction, in particular for the aesthetic and tech- nical design of Southam Hall, which is an exceptional example of a medium-sized multipurpose auditorium representing an inspired collaboration between architect and acoustician. INTRODUCTION The National Arts Centre (NAC) is located on the east side of Confederation Square in the centre of downtown Ottawa (figs. 1-3). It occupies an irregular site on a steep slope descending from Elgin Street, a major artery on the west, to the Rideau Canal on the east.

  • The Plan for Canada's Capital
    Judicial i This page is intentionally left blank for printing purposes. ii The Plan for Canada’s Capital 2017 to 2067 NATIONAL CAPITAL COMMISSION June 2016 iii The Capital of an extensive country, rapidly growing in population and wealth, possessed of almost unlimited water power for manufacturing purposes, and with a location admirably adapted not only for the building of a great city, but a city of unusual beauty and attractiveness. (…) Not only is Ottawa sure to become the centre of a large and populous district, but the fact that it is the Capital of an immense country whose future greatness is only beginning to unfold, (…) and that it be a city which will reflect the character of the nation, and the dignity, stability, and good taste of its citizens. Frederick Todd, 1903 “Preliminary Report to the Ottawa Improvement Commission” pp.1-2 iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For more than a century, the National Capital Commission (NCC) and its predecessors have embraced urban planning to promote the development, conservation and improvement of the National Capital Region, with the aim of ensuring that the nature and character of the seat of the Government of Canada is in accordance with its national significance. The consequences of these planning efforts have been the creation of parks and open spaces, public shorelines, campuses and clusters of government institutions, monuments and symbolic boulevards. This plan charts the future of federal lands in the National Capital Region between Canada’s sesquicentennial in 2017 and its bicentennial in 2067. It will shape the use of federal lands, buildings, parks, infrastructure and symbolic spaces to fulfill the vision of Canada’s Capital as a symbol of our country’s history, diversity and democratic values, in a dynamic and sustainable manner.
