  • 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.

  • The Lands and Monuments Are Known Municipally As Confederation Square
    CONFEDERATION SQUARE LOCATION AND LEGAL DESCRIPTION - The lands and monuments are known municipally as Confederation Square. All the certain parcels or tracts of land and premises situate, lying and being in the City of Peterborough, in the County of Peterborough and Province of Ontario and being composed of Lots one and two on the south side of McDonnel1 Street and West of George Street and Lots one and two on the north side of Murray Street and west of George Street for the said City of Peterborough. OWNER - The Corporation of the City of Peterborough. DATE OF CREATION - August 18, 1884 SITE AND SETTING - The park is situated in the central part of the city directly east of the Peterborough Armouries and Peterborough Collegiate and Vocational School. An iron fence separates those properties from the park. Confederation Square is also bound by Murray Street to the south, George Street to the east and McDonnell Street to the north. SIGNIFICANCE - Since its Crown Patent in 1825, Confederation Square has remained for public use first as the town's only burial ground (1825 - 1851), then as an agricultural park (1875 - 1877) and finally as a park. With the War Memorial dedicated to the victims of the two World Wars which was designed by famed Canadian sculptor Walter Seymour Allward, the Brown Memorial from the 1885 Northwest Rebellion designed by local architect John E. Belcher and a granite representation of the city's Honour Roll of the World Wars, the park is today a local dedication to the conflicts which made Canadian freedom a reality.
