  • The Rideau Canal
    City History Hunt: The Rideau Canal ENTRANCE BAY OTTAWA LOCKS RIDEAU CANAL LEBRETON FLATS LeBreton Flats This area was the second choice for the start of the Rideau Canal due to its flat landscape. The first choice was the parcel of land we know of as LeBreton Flats. However, Captain LeBreton, who had previously purchased the land for £499, tried selling the land to Lieutenant Colonel John By for £3000. John By decided this was too much money to spend on a plot of land and decided to look elsewhere. Entrance Bay John By ended up purchasing this plot of land for the beginning of the Rideau Canal. There have been many names for this part of the Ottawa River, but it is now referred to as Entrance Bay due to its location at the entrance of the Rideau Canal. It has also been named Sleigh’s Bay after the wedding of Philemon Wright’s son, during which guests watched the ceremony from their sleighs on the frozen Ottawa River. Philemon Wright was the founder of Wrightsville, now Gatineau. Rideau Canal The Rideau Canal was built between 1826 and 1832. It was intended to be a secure military route to the Great Lakes that bypassed the St Lawrence River. It is now simply used for pleasure. The Rideau Canal is a total of 202 kilometers between Ottawa and Kingston and uses both man-made canals and natural waterways. Ottawa Locks The locks along the Rideau Canal use four different mechanisms to control them. All except three locks are operated solely by man-power.

The feeding gear is immediately set in motion also and in less than five minutes the giant of the forest passes out in an opposite direction, sawn into planks of various thicknesses, where tramways are laid down and carriages ready to receive them. Around these mills as far as the eye can reach, the water is covered with floating lumber, while on the water edge are piled immense heaps of planks, varying in size and in such quantities as to cover about eight acres. Tramways are run through them so that there is very little difficulty in loading barges,-- 26/06/1868 The Times, Ottawa Tramway Chaudiere A man named Montreuil, while engaged in coupling the cars on which lumber is conveyed on the tramways at the Chaudiere, accidentally got his head caught between them and was killed.

    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.

  • Background and Reasons for Locating the New Central Library in Centretown
    Background and Reasons for locating the new Central Library in Centretown The City plans to close the Metcalfe Main Branch and open the new Central Library in 2020. In July, the Library Board (LB) released a list of 12 possible sites for the new Central Library (see map attached separately). All 12 are close to a planned LRT station. In August, the LB selected a short list of sites but refused to release it. The plan was to release both the short list and the preferred site at the December LB meeting and to make the final decision 5 days later. Our Councillor Catherine McKenney convinced her colleagues that more time was needed. As a result, the LB Chair announced at the October LB meeting that the short list and the preferred site would be released at the December LB meeting and that the final decision would be made about 6 weeks later in January. The Mayor’s preferred location is one of the 5 sites located in Lebreton Flats. As you can see from the map, there are also 5 sites located in Centretown but we don’t know if any of them are on the short list. The CCCA and 15 other community associations support keeping the new Central Library in Centretown and east of Bronson. They support Bookmark the Core, a citizens group advocating for keeping the in the heart of the City, east of Bronson. If the New Central Library moves to Lebreton Flats, there are no City plans for a branch library in Centretown. Why Centretown? The Centretown population is denser and larger by a significant margin than that of the surrounding neighbourhoods that are eligible as Library sites.

  • Rideau River - Rideau Falls Catchment Lower Rideau River Subwatershed Report 2012
    RIDEAU RIVER - RIDEAU FALLS CATCHMENT LOWER RIDEAU RIVER SUBWATERSHED REPORT 2012 The RVCA produces individual reports for 16 catchments in the Lower Rideau subwatershed. Using data collected and analysed by the RVCA through its watershed monitoring and land cover classification programs, surface water quality conditions are reported for the Rideau River along with a summary of environmental conditions for the surrounding countryside every six years. This information is used to help better understand the effects of human activity on our water resources, allows us to better track environmental change over time and helps focus watershed management actions where they are needed the most. The following pages of this report are a compilation of that work. For other Lower Rideau catchments and Lower Rideau Subwatershed Report, please visit the RVCA website at www.rvca.ca. Inside 1.
