This week, the Honourable David Zimmer, Ontario Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation, together with the Honourable Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, and the Algonquin Negotiation Representatives officially signed theAlgonquins of Ontario Agreement-in-Principle. This signing ceremony on Parliament Hill in Ottawa is of historical significance as a landmark event in our progress toward Ontario's first modern-day treaty. There is much work still to be done. The Ontario negotiation team will continue to actively work with the Municipal Focus Group that has been in place since 2010, consisting of senior upper tier staff members. We will also be actively engaged with individual municipalities where there are proposed Algonquin land selections. Crown lands conveyed to the Algonquins will be transferred in fee simple ownership and subject to municipal jurisdiction, including municipal planning, after title transfer, Ontario will continue to consult with local municipalities to determine the appropriate Official Plan designation and zoning to be applied to settlement land parcels, and public consultation processes will also be undertaken.

  • 2005 Rideau Canal World Heritage Site Management Plan
    2005 Foreword The Rideau Canal bears witness to 19th century engineering excellence, most notably through its ingenious adaptive design and brilliant execution. As well as being a technological feat, it provides an eloquent illustration of the defence measures taken by the British Empire in Canada in the early 1800s, which resulted in the transformation of Canada’s eastern Ontario hinterland into a transportation route whose integrity has, to this day, been maintained at an exceptionally high level. This linear serial nomination incorporates six elements that together will become the Rideau Canal World Heritage Site. These are: the Rideau Canal National Historic Site of Canada, Fort Henry National Historic Site of Canada, Fort Frederick, Cathcart Tower, Shoal Tower and Murney Tower (the Kingston Fortifications National Historic Site of Canada). This management plan specifies how the world heritage values of the nominated property will be protected for present and future generations. It constitutes the formal commitment of the Parks Canada Agency, the responsible Canadian management organization, to the conservation and protection of the property. It identifies the world heritage values that will be protected, the legislative and policy framework for management of the property, the elements of the management system in place to protect the property, and mechanisms for monitoring and periodic reporting. As a high-level, overarching management plan, this document unites the specific operational plans for the six elements by identifying and elaborating management commitments and actions that will result in an integrated approach to administering the world heritage site. I am very grateful to our dedicated team from Parks Canada, the World Heritage Site steering committee and to all of the local organizations and individuals who have demonstrated good will, hard work, spirit of cooperation and extraordinary sense of stewardship.

  • Making the Case on Parliament Hill a Warm Welcome for Our New Board
    Web version | June 2017 Making the case on Parliament Hill I was recently invited to Ottawa to be a witness at Parliament’s Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights, which is examining issues related to access to the justice system. I was asked to talk about legal aid in Canada and to provide observations on indigenous access to justice. In trying to figure out what to say in 10 minutes I realized how important it was to frame these important and complex issues in the bigger picture of what government chooses to support and why they should. I took the opportunity to reiterate the advice we once gave the BC Ministry of Justice, that our work to improve the justice system for people with low incomes serves to improve the justice system for everyone. I reminded the MPs on the committee that legal aid plans are uniquely positioned to offer advice on justice reform and access to justice because we are independent of government, and we see more facets the justice system than other justice institutions do. My overall message was that the federal government should be more generous, more deliberate and more strategic in how it funds legal aid. Always aware of how our family services are far below the national average, I made some particular suggestions for national benchmarks and referred to the recent proposal for national legal aid benchmarks developed by Canada’s legal aid plans in conjunction with the Canadian Bar Association. A warm welcome for our new board chair Larry Grant, Celeste Haldane and Carl Point LSS welcomed Celeste Haldane as its new board chair last month.

The unique scope, objective, and timeline for each model required an in-depth analysis to select the appropriate classification for Level of Detail (LOD) and Level of Accuracy (LOA). With each project, the refinement of modelling practices and workflows evolved, culminating in one of our most complex and challenging projects — the Library of Parliament BIM. The purpose of this paper is to share ideas and lessons learned for the intricate challenges that emerge when using LOD and LOA classifications including trade-offs between model performance, tolerances, and anticipated BIM use. In addition, we will evaluate how these decisions effected managing the digitization, data processing, data synthesis, and visualisation of the models. 1. OVERVIEW monument.

  • 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.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
