Jenna says she and David met while at Queens University and then, somewhat by chance, ended up in Ottawa. She spent several years as a journalist working with CTV and as the national parliamentary producer for Canada AM, and he found his passion in high tech at Solace. Today Jenna works in event planning and organizing fundraising events. “I had a bucket list of things I wanted to achieve as a journalist. I covered four federal election campaigns, spent time in Afghanistan while our troops were there, had the opportunity to travel around the country visiting military bases, enjoyed meeting Canadian and international celebrities, and produced two live three-hour specials from Iqaluit. It was exciting and I loved every moment, but I am happy with my decision to change courses.” David and Jenna love the outdoors and are raising their children, 11-year- old Cate and 7-year-old Tommy, to enjoy and take advantage of the opportunities as well. Despite the adjustment to the cold and extreme snow with the City of Ottawa to protect and ensure the continuity of this space that can come with an Ottawa winter, especially compared with hometown as an off-golf-season recreational opportunity that is open and available for Toronto, this family has found that Fall, Winter and Spring are when their everyone. outdoor time expands beyond their own backyard – to the greenspace that “All you have to do is go to the space in those off-seasons and you can see is the Kanata Golf and Country Club. how important, how valuable, this land is to the community.

  • Tracing Traffic, Place, and Power in Canada's Capital City
    Storied Infrastructure: Tracing Traffic, Place, and Power in Canada’s Capital City Nick Scott Carleton University The street yearns for action nobler than traffic. Leonard Cohen Montreal 1964 ost canadians depend on a car, truck, or bus for everyday Mtravel and worry about congestion and the price of gas. The recent bailout of the auto sector and stimulus spending on roads, bridges, and highways reveal the commitment of Canadian governments to expanding traffic through motor vehicle use. As a shared way of flowing and idling in the world, however, traffic, in spite of mass participation and immense eco- logical import, remains a relatively elusive idea, and one too frequently dominated by a functionalist engineering approach. As a technoscientific attempt to eliminate congestion, this approach overlooks social under- standings of traffic, its politics, and its cultural significance. I aim to extend an alternative understanding of “traffic” as irreducible to either congestion or itinerancy but marked instead by multiple relations of stasis and flow among human and nonhuman actors. To this end I draw on two different literatures, mobility studies and narrative approaches to urban planning, to explore how people imagine and practise traffic in a spatial culture of automobility. ESC 36.1 (March 2010): 149–174 This narrative approach to urban planning highlights the multiplicity of traffic and the agency of material infrastructure (see Latour). By fore- grounding the different voices of streets, I aim to defamiliarize the habitual Nick Scott is a voice of automobility. In contrast to modernization cum motorization nar- doctoral candidate ratives which follow a teleological plot line, the stories that streets tell from in sociology and different temporal and spatial perspectives have the potential to disrupt a anthropology at natural, apolitical culture of car-dependence.
