These 21,500 hectares within Canada’s Capital Region (CCR) belongs to the people of Canada. The Greenbelt is the most ecologically diverse natural landscape within an urban area. The Greenbelt supports a viable base of prime agricultural lands that in close proximity to a large urban population. It is also a myriad of places and experiences for recreation that provide solitude, observation of nature, the opportunity for many forms of exercise, glimpses into the experiences of our ancestors or connection with our local food system. And it hosts selected federal government facilities with functions of national significance such as military training, satellite communications research, agricultural research, defense communications monitoring, geotechnical research and energy and explosives research. These features reflect the four main roles of the Greenbelt: 1. Primary role ‐ Natural Environment 2. Secondary role ‐ Sustainable Agriculture 3. Secondary role ‐ Capital Experiences & Recreation 4. Tertiary role ‐ Facilities. A current review of the 1996 Greenbelt Master Plan, being completed between 2008 and 2012, has as its main purpose to update the entire plan – its directions, land use concept and designations, policies, guidelines and sector plans – to reflect changes since 1996 and desired directions for the future. The types of changes proposed include land use, the priorities of managers and stakeholders, regional growth trends, a greater focus on sustainability and global environmental and climate conditions. The recommended land use concept is consistent with the Greenbelt strategic statements that implement the approved 2067 Greenbelt vision and provide the direction for the next step of refinement of plan policies, guidelines, land designations and sector plans. This report recommends a 2067 land use concept for internal NCC discussion and refinement through the fall of 2011 and final approval by the National Capital Commission Board of Directors in January 2012. The concept has been developed through ongoing research and analysis of issues, trends and results from this study’s analysis of the Greenbelt’s existing conditions and potential for 50 years from now. Concept development and review was further informed by detailed consultations with stakeholders and the public during the first half of 2011. The recommended or ultimate concept for the year 2067 is one which contributes to and is mainly responsible for a sustainable community in Canada’s Capital Region. The vision, mission, fundamental premise, role and goal statements included within this report are met through this concept. Visually, the Greenbelt as a landscape feature is connected for human, animal and plant life, provides food, refuge and recreation, elicits national pride, provides areas of employment and enhances quality of life for communities of the Capital. Many individuals and organizations work with the NCC in the management of both the function and health of the Greenbelt lands and of those areas to which the Greenbelt connects. Page 1 – Recommended Greenbelt Land Use Concept The recommended concept for the 2012 Greenbelt Master Plan includes: • Strengthened and expanded natural areas within the existing Greenbelt; • integration of forest plantations to the Greenbelt’s Natural Environment, managed for diversified and rehabilitated natural habitats over time to enhance the Greenbelt core natural areas in function, area and ecological linkages; • addition of natural areas immediately adjacent to the Greenbelt to further strengthen Greenbelt core natural areas and improve connectivity from the Greenbelt to significant regional natural areas; • adjustment of natural area boundaries for more natural shape and to provide net ecological benefit to the Greenbelt; • transfer of former rural lands within the Greenbelt to Sustainable Agriculture lands; there is a resulting increase in the agricultural land base, to compensate for the transfer of other agricultural lands to strengthen the core natural areas and natural area linkage functions. • Achievement of sustainable agriculture includes diversification of farm types, support for smaller farm parcels and ongoing integration of farm management practices that support biological processes of the Greenbelt’s natural environment. • selected parcels of the proposed natural environment land additions also enhance visual resources and recreational opportunities to strengthen the Recreational & Capital Experiences for the Greenbelt and there is enhancement of the connectivity of the Greenbelt Pathway to the regional pathway system; • retention of existing facilities within the Greenbelt, with a focus specified for federal facilities requiring isolation and location within the Capital; all facilities, federal and non‐federal, will be encouraged to maintain and, where possible, reduce the land footprint supporting built structures. • Discouragement of new facilities and gradual long term phase-out of existing facilities followed by re-naturalization of their lands; • Recognition of the Ottawa International Airport, DND facility on Carling Avenue, Queensway Carleton Hospital and Nepean Sportsplex as edge facilities that are special operating zones which interface with Greenbelt and urban landscapes • reinstatement as NILM (National Interest Land Mass) of NCC‐owned lands immediately adjacent to the Greenbelt to strengthen Greenbelt roles of Natural Environment and Capital Experiences and Recreation; these parcels were previously recommended for removal from the

    Carp Hills/South March Highlands Bio-Blitz 2011 (PDF)

    Carp Hills –South March Highlands Bio‐blitz 2011 Organized by Linda McCormick [email protected] Financial assistance for this project was provided by the Ottawa Stewardship Council Acknowledgements Prior to this experience, I had not participated in a bio‐blitz; nor do I have a background in biology. Therefore, I am intensely grateful to the support and assistance I received from the individuals and groups listed below. They made the event possible. The Ottawa Stewardship Council provided financial support and its members reviewed this report. The Council is part of the Ontario Stewardship Program, an initiative of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. It is mandated to assist environmental groups, community associations, and other groups in Ottawa developing projects that promote and maintain a healthy environment (http://www.ottawastewardship.org/). Heather Hamilton from the Canadian Bio‐diversity Institute generously shared her time and expertise. She imported the concept of the bio‐blitz to North America a number of years ago and her enthusiasm for this method of promoting the natural environment is infectious. Nick Stow from the City of Ottawa provided support and assistance. He coordinated the design and production of maps of City‐owned property for bio‐blitz. Members of the Protect the South March Highlands Coalition promoted the bio‐blitz, set up the Nature Fair, provided operational support during the bio‐blitz and coordinated a dinner for participants. The Ottawa, Mississippi Valley and McNamara Field Naturalist Clubs promoted the event on their websites and in emails to their members. Members volunteered their time to participate in the Nature Fair and share their expertise.

    City of Ottawa Transportation Committee Councillor Keith Egli Pictures Left: Main Street Renewal The $39 million Main Street Renewal Project began construction in 2015 after extensive consultations with the area’s businesses, residents, and community organizations. The project involved a renewal of the street’s infrastructure following the City’s complete street guidelines, aiming to link the street together as a unified corridor and create memorable places along it while recognizing and supporting the character of its communities. The infrastructure of Main Street has been renewed and revitalized, and now provides better options for walking, cycling, and transit use. Middle: Rideau Canal Crossing: The construction has started! 2 years of planned construction. Multi-use pedestrian and cyclist bridge over the Rideau Canal and Colonel By Drive Reduces distances between mid-town neighbourhoods Improves access to the City’s extensive network of pedestrian multi-use pathways and to Lansdowne Right: Mackenzie Cycle Track Officially opened on Friday May 19 2017. The track is bi-directional, similar to the cycle track along O’Connor Street, and runs along the east side of Mackenzie Avenue, from Rideau Street to Murray Street. Mackenzie Avenue remains a one-way, two-lane roadway, expanding to three lanes at the Rideau Street intersection. The cycle track is separated from road traffic on Mackenzie Avenue by a combination of curbs, a buffer area, and bollards in front of the U.S. Embassy.The cycle track was opened during Bike to Work Month and is part of a larger project that involved the resurfacing of Mackenzie Avenue and installation of security bollards in front of the U.S.

RECOMMANDATIONS DU RAPPORT Que le Comité des Transports prenne connaissance de ce rapport. BACKGROUND The purpose of this study undertaken in partnership with the National Capital Commission (NCC) was to identify projects within the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) and other transportation projects that have emerged since the completion of the TMP that could have an impact on the environmental integrity of the federal Greenbelt lands. By examining the cumulative effects of the construction of this infrastructure on the Greenbelt lands, a framework now has been established to ensure that the associated Environmental Assessments (EAs) that require federal approval will move forward more expediently. 2 One of the NCC’s mandates is to protect the Greenbelt. Current practice has been that the NCC only comments or provides input on projects that are identified in its Greenbelt Master Plan (GBMP).
