The subDect property is addressed as 557 ,ellin ton Street in the brief. A proposed library development is described in the brief in a conG uraon that resembles the desi n subsequently developed that is the subDect of this submission . The brief ima ines the buildin as bein a fourAstorey instuonal buildin Lstrate ically placed abuMn .CC open space, and acve transportaon corridors, maNin the site easily accessible by all modes of transportaonO (P. 27 and ima e below).

This would permit a ma8imum buildin hei ht of 40 metres at 557 ,ellin ton (now 555 Albert Street.) The plannin brief does not discuss reference herita e desi naons of either of the two /erita e Conservaon Districts or individually desi nated properes, other than the Oawa ,ater ,orNs comple8. It does note, however, that the Central Area Secondary Plan calls for the protecon of its disnct identy and herita e character and the primacy of the Parliament Buildin s and other naonal symbols, and that Albert Street (which is a maDor western access route to Parliament /ill) is idenGed as a Scenic Entry Route (P. 16).

Having closed our public spaces within our former home at Arts Court early in the year, we then programmed a series of exhibitions, happenings and events under the OAG Out There campaign. This includ- ed partnerships with the 2017 Juno Awards and the Canadian Academy for Recording Arts and Sciences, as well as the British High Commission and the Embassy of France on exhibitions held at our satellite space in Ottawa City Hall. We also engaged in compelling, socially-engaged collaborations with Tangled Arts + Disability and the Ottawa Public Library. The OAG worked throughout the year with the City of Ottawa on realizing the completion of our new, purpose-built home, which culminated in achieving substantial completion on the building. In anticipation of our April 2018 inaugural opening and exhibition, the OAG ended the year with the launch of its 300 page publication celebrating regional art production stretching back 6500 years, entitled Adisokamagan/ Nous connaître un peu nous-mêmes/We’ll all become stories, as well as revealing Barbour David Photo: the first of nine commissioned artworks for the inaugural exhibition; Ascension by The Latest Artists and Of Buffalo, Bears and Indian Scouts by Bear Witness (Installation image at right).
