  • Appendix 5 Station Descriptions And
    Appendix 5 Station Descriptions and Technical Overview Stage 2 light rail transit (LRT) stations will follow the same standards, design principles, and connectivity and mobility requirements as Stage 1 Confederation Line. Proponent Teams were instructed, through the guidelines outlined in the Project Agreement (PA), to design stations that will integrate with Stage 1, which include customer facilities, accessibility features, and the ability to support the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) goals for public transit and ridership growth. The station features planned for the Stage 2 LRT Project will be designed and built on these performance standards which include: Barrier-free path of travel to entrances of stations; Accessible fare gates at each entrance, providing easy access for customers using mobility devices or service animals; Tactile wayfinding tiles will trace the accessible route through the fare gates, to elevators, platforms and exits; Transecure waiting areas on the train platform will include accessible benches and tactile/Braille signs indicating the direction of service; Tactile warning strips and inter-car barriers to keep everyone safely away from the platform edge; Audio announcements and visual displays for waiting passengers will precede each train’s arrival on the platform and will describe the direction of travel; Service alerts will be shown visually on the passenger information display monitors and announced audibly on the public-address system; All wayfinding and safety signage will be provided following the applicable accessibility standards (including type size, tactile signage, and appropriate colour contrast); Clear, open sight lines and pedestrian design that make wayfinding simple and intuitive; and, Cycling facilities at all stations including shelter for 80 per cent of the provided spaces, with additional space protected to ensure cycling facilities can be doubled and integrated into the station’s footprint.

  • World Tulip Summit 2017 Westin Hotel Ottawa
    WORLD TULIP SUMMIT 2017 WESTIN HOTEL OTTAWA CANADA OCTOBER 5‐7 2017 Report for Springfields Horticultural Society Trustees Adrian Jansen INTRODUCTION The 7th World Tulip Summit was held in Ottawa, Canada in October 2017, hosted by the Ottawa Tulip Festival. In addition to celebrating 15 years since the first WTS in Ottawa in 2002, it was also the 65th anniversary of the Ottawa Tulip festival, and 150 years since the founding of the Dominion of Canada. There has been some confusion as to the year of the first Summit. Although we refer to the first as being in 2002 in Ottawa, there was an ‘unofficial’ summit the previous year in Tonami, Japan. It was there that it was decided to invite a number of countries to participate the following year in Ottawa. This Tonami meeting is now known as ‘The Inspirational Summit’. The second Summit was in Canberra, Australia 2006, 3rd in Spalding 2008, 4th Skagit Valley, USA in 2010, 5th in Istanbul, Turkey in 2013, and the 6th in Suncheon City, South Korea, 2015 Initially, having received the invitation to attend, David, Peter and myself agreed we would not send a delegate as SHS couldn’t justify the cost of airfare, hotel and registration fees. Having explained this to Michel Gauthier, the Chairman of the WTS, he understood our situation, but he was very keen to have us attend. In order to help, the delegate fees could be waived, and the organisers would pay one return airfare, if we covered hotel costs. After consultation with Trustees, we decided I would attend alone.

  • Ottawa Will Lead the Way As It Transforms Itself and Hosts Not One, but Multiple Signature Events and Countless Smaller Community Celebrations, All Year Long
    2 In 2017, Canada proudly celebrates 150 years as a nation, and its capital city of Ottawa will lead the way as it transforms itself and hosts not one, but multiple signature events and countless smaller community celebrations, all year long. Ottawa 2017 is going to be a big, bold, immersive and moving experience not to be missed. 3 Written by Charline Cormier-Pellerin ttawa 2017 will feature twelve months of spectacular programming, including fifteen new block- buster events and countless special Canada 150 activities in addition to recurring festivals, events, Oart series, and culture and heritage initiatives. The Ottawa 2017 Bureau, the not-for-profit organiza- tion in charge of planning and promoting these events, wanted to find the right balance between rural and urban programming to offer both large scale blockbuster events and community grassroots activities. The goal of Ottawa 2017 is to position Ottawa as the hub of all celebrations for Canada’s 150th Anniversary of Confederation. “It’s an opportunity to re-position or refresh the image people have of Ottawa,” says Guy Laflamme, executive director of the Ottawa 2017 Bureau. “Overall, we want to inspire young generations. More than celebrating our past and educating people about our history, our focus is for Ottawa 2017 to spark the imagination and ignite our future.” The Ottawa 2017 Bureau has developed a program where it will at times act as producer, co-producer, facilitator or promoter, with everything entirely comple- menting what the Canadian federal government has planned. In July 2016, marking the countdown of 150 days until Canada 150, an amateur parachutist with hundreds of helium-inflated balloons was sent up into the sky.
