While the development goal, approved by City Council in April 1983, is to convert Lansdowne into a multi- use year-round leisure and sports facility for both residents and tourists, and provide extensive conventiun and trade show facilities, it must accomplish this with minimum impact on adjacent neighbourhoods. Although most interested groups and individuals agree that there is a need for re- development, many have special requests and con- cerns that must still be considered.

  • SKHS Annual Report 2006
    ACTING DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT The School of Physical and Health Education formally became the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen’s University through an act of Queen’s Senate on 24 May 2006. The new School of Kinesiology and Health Studies is pleased to provide the seventh annual report on its undertakings and the first report under its new name. This is also my first report as Acting Director of the School. The achievements of our faculty and students were numerous and impressive in 2006. The School’s academic programs consist of a revitalized program in Physical Education, an emerging program in Health Studies, and a new program in Kinesiology that will be launched in September 2007. These programs are positioned to address contemporary concerns, meet students’ needs, and help set research and policy agendas. Our programs reflect a breadth of teaching and research topics from the social sciences underpinning diversity, participation, equity and inclusion, to the epidemiological, biomechanical, and physiological study serving research in health, physical activity, obesity, and sport. Much of this teaching and research focus is distinctive for its critical engagement with the real world. The extensive listing of work in peer reviewed journals, practical reports, policy papers, and the popular press and the high student demand for our programs are evidence of the quality of the teaching and research that is conducted within the School. The research work carried out within the School continues to be supported by several external granting agencies including new grants obtained in 2006 from CIHR, NSERC, the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation (OMRI), and the International Development Research Center (IDRC).

  • 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.

Nearly 100 trees and bushes, including red maple, elm, ash, willow, poplar and serviceberry were placed in the western and northern sections of the park by an enthusiastic group, which shrugged off the occasional drizzle (which was perfect for the trees, however). The planting supervisors arrived at 8 a.m. to set up the registration and re- freshment tables, run through a practice planting and as- sign tasks for the day.

  • 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 mayor came to the Glebe in early January and, to our surprise, he brought with him his chief of staff, the manager for eco- nomic development and the direc- tor for planning and the environ- ment. We discussed three key sub- jects. First: What is the city's vi- sion for the downtown core? Is the Glebe part of the downtown core? Second: Why does the city contin- ue to favour areas managed by BIAs (Business Improvement Ar: eas). For the record, a BIA is an area where all businesses (like it or not) pay an additional tax levy to fund projects and pay for services (which used to be provided by the city).
