The property is owned by the City of Ottawa. Section 4.6.1 of the City of Ottawa Official Plan has policies outlining when a CHIS may be required and provides evaluation requirements when a development has potential to: • Adversely impact the cultural heritage value of properties designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA); and • Adversely impact the cultural heritage value of districts designated under Part V of the OHA. The CHIS has been requested by the City to address potential impacts from the proposed development at 555 Albert Street on nearby heritage properties. The set of heritage properties consists of nine residences, an apartment building, the complex of Ottawa Waterworks structures (building, bridges and aqueduct), the Lorne Avenue Heritage Conservation District (HCD) and the Cathedral Hill HCD. The Ottawa Waterworks building is also subject to a heritage easement agreement with the Ontario Heritage Trust. The City also requested that the CHIS consider how features will be contributing to a better understanding and appreciation of the area’s history and Indigenous (Anishinabe Algonquin) context. The CHIS is focused exclusively on potential impacts from the project to build a new library and archives facility. A separate project to redesign Albert Street is also in progress. Cumulative impacts from the two projects on heritage values and properties are not considered in this CHIS. The CHIS is authored by Julie Harris, Contentworks Inc., CAHP.1 1.2 Sources In addition to sources mentioned in footnotes and three site visits undertaken by the author in May 2020, the following materials were used to prepare the CHIS: • Barry Padolsky Architect Ltd. et al.

  • The Rideau Canal
    City History Hunt: The Rideau Canal ENTRANCE BAY OTTAWA LOCKS RIDEAU CANAL LEBRETON FLATS LeBreton Flats This area was the second choice for the start of the Rideau Canal due to its flat landscape. The first choice was the parcel of land we know of as LeBreton Flats. However, Captain LeBreton, who had previously purchased the land for £499, tried selling the land to Lieutenant Colonel John By for £3000. John By decided this was too much money to spend on a plot of land and decided to look elsewhere. Entrance Bay John By ended up purchasing this plot of land for the beginning of the Rideau Canal. There have been many names for this part of the Ottawa River, but it is now referred to as Entrance Bay due to its location at the entrance of the Rideau Canal. It has also been named Sleigh’s Bay after the wedding of Philemon Wright’s son, during which guests watched the ceremony from their sleighs on the frozen Ottawa River. Philemon Wright was the founder of Wrightsville, now Gatineau. Rideau Canal The Rideau Canal was built between 1826 and 1832. It was intended to be a secure military route to the Great Lakes that bypassed the St Lawrence River. It is now simply used for pleasure. The Rideau Canal is a total of 202 kilometers between Ottawa and Kingston and uses both man-made canals and natural waterways. Ottawa Locks The locks along the Rideau Canal use four different mechanisms to control them. All except three locks are operated solely by man-power.
