  • C:E-Drivegreenspacepoets' Pathwayncc Review Panel Brief
    Date: October 27, 2006 To: NCC Mandate Review Panel From: Poets’ Pathway Committee By e-mail [email protected] Dear Panel Members: The Poets’ Pathway Committee is a committee of the Greenspace Alliance of Canada’s Capital (“the Alliance”) and the Ottawa Literary Heritage Society (OLHS). Dr. Steven Artelle for the OLHS and I for the Alliance are its co-chairs. This brief addresses the Panel’s question about the NCC’s Functions and Activities, and specifically “the NCC’s role in planning, programming and maintaining and developing the Capital.” We are very taken by the project we propose and are convinced that it is supportive of the National Capital Commission’s mandate. It would provide huge payback in terms of culture, art, history, diversity, national unity, tourism, the environment and the health of local residents. We wish to convince you to recommend that the Commission enter into constructive discussions with the Committee to further the realization of the Pathway and to reverse the surplus status of a portion of the Southern Corridor with the intent of dedicating it as a “Canadian Poets’ Park.”. Background In May 2002, at the first annual meeting of the Commission’s Directors with interest groups, the Alliance presented the concept of a Poets’ Pathway in Ottawa. This would be a continuous 30-km pathway from Britannia Bay, along the valleys of the Pinecrest and Nepean Creeks, across the Rideau River through the Southern Corridor including McCarthy Woods, then north along the Eastern Corridor including Pleasant Park Woods, and finally along the Rideau River and Beechwood Avenue to Beechwood Cemetery.

As someone who had always been interested in history, and in particular Canadian history, I was intrigued by the fact that one of the founding fathers of our country and its first Prime Minister had once been a member of the same Masonic Lodge that I had just joined.
