Ottawa Electric Railway Has Been Appointed Assistant Superintendent Ottawa Electric From Canadian Railway and Marine World/Canadian Transportation - showing date and page number 01-Apr-1898Page 51 The first city in the world to have established in it a special electric heating service from a central station was Ottawa. Electric mail cars were first used in Ottawa on 9 Nov 1893 to convey Her Majesty's mails from the central post office to the railway stations. 01-Jul-1898Page 138 The conductors recently demanded $1.50 a day for 9 hour's work. The company refused the demand and compromised on $1.35 or 15 cents. an hour for a 9 hour day. A movement is on foot in Ottawa to secure a citizens' vote on the question of operating the street railway on Sunday. 01-Sep-1898Page 166 City Council has decided to submit the Sunday street car question to the popular vote next January. There are two obstacles in the way of operation of streetcars in Ottawa on Sunday, the prohibitive act of the Ontario legislature and a clause in the street railway company's charter forbidding Sunday cars. The men are asking for a nine hour day at the present rate of pay $1.50. The company has offered $1.43 for a ten hours day which the men refuse. It is not known whether they will strike or continue the 11 hour day. 01-Sep-1898Page 193 This company which has been having trouble with its employees on account of hours and wages, has decided to pay 15 c. an hour to employees of 3 years standing, 14 2/7 c. to employees of two years standing and 14 c. for those of less than 2 years standing. This, it is thought, will prevent a strike, as it meets the demands of 80 out of 136 motormen and conductors. Spare men will be allowed 13 c. and hour but the Co. will not recognize the Union. In this settlement both sides made compromise that enables the employees to come out of the negotiations with a considerable gain, their day having been reduced an hour without any corresponding reduction in wages. It is expected the Co. will extend its line from Rockliffe Park to the Rifle Range next year, the Dominion government having promised to furnish free old steel rails taken up from the Intercolonial Ry. The suburb of Britannia wants the Ottawa Co.'s lines extended to that place. 01-Oct-1898Page 216 The crowds during the recent Central Canada Exhibition were so large that the Street Railway had difficulty in handling them, the equipment being insufficient. A number of open cars will be built during the winter. 01-Nov-1898Page 243 The City Council has taken action to compel the Electric Ry. to extend its track to the Exhibition grounds in accordance with its contract with the City. An injunction has been applied for to restrain the Co. from operating the railway already built until the track has been extended as above mentioned. The Co. has declined to proceed with the extension on account of not having received the sanction of the Privy Council Railway Committee to cross the Canada Atlantic tracks. The application is still pending and, if it is granted, the Co. will probably go on with the extension. It is said the Co. has in view the extension to Britannia, but that nothing will be done before next spring. 01-Dec-1898Page 272 The Railway Committee of the Privy Council has refused the application of the company for permission to cross the Canada Atlantic Ry. tracks at Elgin Street, so as to continue the line to the Exhibition Grounds. (Nov. pg. 243). The cost of the proposed extension to Britannia, which is not likely to be taken up before next spring, is estimated at $125,000. It is also suggested that the road be extended to Rockland, 22 miles. J. Sheppard is suing the Co. for wrongful ejection from a car. Several weeks ago, he alleges, he boarded a car and at the time was smoking a cigar. He entered the car at the front vestibule and merely held the cigar in his mouth while taking a car ticket from his pocket book. He further alleges that he was forcibly ejected by the conductor without remonstrance and in attempting to reboard the car a second time at the rear entrance he was again pushed off and in the fall sustained a severe sprain of the ankle, with which he has since been laid up. 01-Jan-1899Page 17 5th annual report - extracts. During the year 6 open and 6 closed cars have been added to the rolling stock. A loop has been put in at the CPR station and connections have been completed at the Chaudiere and Hull for handling freight cars. On January 2, 1899 a plebiscite was taken by the city on the question of Sunday cars, which resulted in a large majority in their favour and the Co. is now taking steps to carry out the decision of the people. Legislation to this end will be applied for. The Company is prohibited from running its cars on Sundays by the Ontario statute, passed in 1897, which forbids the running of Sunday cars except it be to keep the tracks clear of snow and ice or for other acts of necessity or charity. The company gives notice of application to Parliament to authorize it or to confirm its power to extend its line to Bells corners and elsewhere in the township of Nepean and in the Township of Gloucester. May-02-19 Colin J. Churcher Page 1 of 67 01-Feb-1899Page 60 The illustration on p. 61 shows a car which gladdened the hearts of thousands of children in Ottawa on Christmas Eve. The idea of a Santa Claus car originated with W.Y. Soper, of Athern & Soper, who under the nom de plume of Santa Claus, had letters in the local daily papers for several days before Christmas. These letters were dated from various points between the North Pole and Ottawa and announced that on the afternoon and evening of the day before Christmas Santa Claus attended by a suite of brownies, would go through the streets of the city on top of an electric car and would distribute oranges to the children as he passed. The last letter gave a timetable of the hours at which the car would reach various points on its route. The jolly saint, blowing a tally-ho horn and surrounded by brownies, passed through the streets on the afternoon and evening of December 24th and very large crowds turned out to see him. The car was decorated on each side with appropriate Christmas mottoes, framed in evergreens and incandescent lights; on the front dashboard was the date 1898 and on the rear 1899; the windows were filled up with toys and boxes in bright coloured wrappings. During the trip, about five thousand oranges were thrown out to the children. The car was in no sense an advertisement, but was solely for the purpose of giving an afternoon's amusement to the youngster's of Ottawa, It was a most liberal and commendable treat. 01-Apr-1899Page 120 The application to the Ontario Legislature to allow this Co. to operate cars on Sundays, the people having voted in favour thereof, caused a hot fight before the Private Bills Committee of the Ontario Legislature Mar. 8. The Mayor and other Ottawa officials appeared in support of the measure and a deputation from the Lord's Day Alliance opposed it. The bill passed by a vote of 34 to 13. Work is progressing favourably on the extension the Co. is making to its power house at the Chaudiere. A force of 20 men are at work blasting and carting away the rock. The drill and hoists in operation are worked by steam. About 25,000 cubic yards of rock will be removed deepening the cut 35 ft. Six 50 foot water wheels will be put in place and a 1,500 h.p. dynamo operated direct from them. This is to furnish a duplicate source of power for the running of the system. The building containing the machinery will be beneath the street level and constructed entirely of concrete and iron. The work, which will entail an outlay of $60,000 is expected to be completed by June. 01-May-1899Page 153 The Ottawa Electric will extend its track 2 miles to Rockcliffe rifle range, if the Dominion Government will give satisfactory assistance. The Co.'s bill, now before Parliament, has occupied a large amount of time both in committee and the Commons. The principal fight has been over the proposal to operate on Sundays. An early statute affecting the Co. forbids this. It seems probable this provision will be repealed, and that the Co. will be left subject to Ontario legislation in this respect. The Co. is asking power to build through the townships of Hintonburg and Nepean. 01-Jun-1899Page 189 The OER has got its desired legislation through the House of Commons despite vigorous attempts to change it. The company is given the power to extend its line from some point on its present line in the municipality of Hintonburg or Nepean to Bell's Corners, the extension to be begun within 18 months and completed within 3 years. The most important clause in the Act reads:- "Notwithstanding anything contained in the statutes of 1892, chap 53, sec 6, it is hereby declared and enacted that the following words in the Ontario statutes of 1898, chap 45, sec 2: 'no car of any description shall be run between midnight of Saturday and midnight of Sunday,' are not and shall not be applicable to the Ottawa Electric R.

  • The Scots of Beechwood Tour
    The Scots of Beechwood The Scots have immigrated to Canada in steady and substantial numbers for over 200 years, with the connection between Scotland and Canada stretching farther — to the 17th century. Scots have been involved in every aspect of Canada's development as explorers, educators, businessmen, politicians, writers and artists. The Scots are among the first Europeans to establish themselves in Canada and are the third largest ethnic group in the country. With a history and heritage this long, it was only natural that the Scots of Ottawa found a home at Beechwood Cemetery. 1. TOMMY DOUGLAS - Section 64, Graves 285, 286 Born on October 20, 1904 in Falkirk, Scotland. In the fall of 1928, Tommy became a minister at Calvary Baptist Church in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. He felt first hand the harshness of the Depression in the prairies. Douglas knew that something had to be done for the common man. His experience with the vast unemployment and poverty transformed T.C. Douglas, the clergyman, into a social activist. By 1932, Douglas helped organize an Independent Labour Party in Weyburn of which he became president. The movement soon evolved into the Farmer Labour Party. This party offered hospital care for everyone on an equal basis, including unemployment insurance and universal pension. By July of 1932, the labour parties of the four western provinces formed an alliance under the name Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF). The CCF became Canada’s first national socialist party. In 1935, Douglas was elected into parliament under the CCF. By the early 40’s, Tommy moved away from the federal politics and became leader of the Saskatchewan provincial CCF party (1942) while maintaining his seat in the House of Commons.

  • 1272 Carling Planning Rationale
    Stantec Consulting Ltd. 400 - 1331 Clyde Avenue, Ottawa ON K2C 3G4 August 14, 2019 File: 160410260 Attention: John Bernier, Planner I City of Ottawa Planning, Infrastructure & Economic Development 110 Laurier Avenue West, 4th Floor Ottawa, Ontario K1P 1J1 Dear Mr. Bernier, Reference: Site Plan Control Application for 1272 Carling Avenue INTRODUCTION This letter has been prepared in support of an application for Site Plan Control by Best Western Plus (the proponent) for their site at 1272 Carling Avenue. The Site Plan Control application proposes a two-storey addition above the north wing of the existing hotel, adding an additional X rooms to the site. The proponent also proposes to improve surface parking configuration and layout on the site; these changes will remove one vehicle access from Carling Avenue, provide additional landscape buffering along the street edge and remove parking spaces which, due to several road widening, were within the right-of-way. Changes to the parking areas will result in X additional parking spaces, for a total of Y spaces. SITE LOCATION AND CONTEXT The site is located in Ottawa’s Carlington neighbourhood at the southwest corner of Carling Avenue and Merivale Road, as shown in Figure 1. The property is legally described as Part of Lots 12, 13, 14 on Plan 221, Concession A, Lot K, Geographic Township of Nepean, now City of Ottawa. The site is irregular in shape with 101m of frontage on Carling Avenue, 122m along Merivale Road, and an area of 1.1 hectares (2.7 acres). The property is occupied by Best Western Plus- a two and four-storey hotel, and accessory surface parking lot.

  • Phase II: Clemow Estate Heritage Study: Area Analysis and Recommendations
    Phase II: Clemow Estate Heritage Study: area analysis and recommendations 1 Phase II Clemow Estate Heritage Conservation District Study – Area Analysis and Recommendations 1.0 Background In 2004, Ottawa’s City Council recommended undertaking a multi-phased Heritage Conservation Study of three areas of the Glebe surrounding Central Park. The intention was to provide an overall understanding of the history and cultural heritage character of the area and, to determine if a Heritage Conservation District would be an appropriate planning tool to recognize and protect the area by managing change over time. In 2011, the first phase of the study resulted in the designation of the Clemow Estate East Heritage Conservation District under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. For Phase II, Council’s original direction was to study the properties adjacent to Linden Terrace and Patterson Creek to the Rideau Canal. However, the research for Phase I indicated that the original Clemow Estate also included the western section of Clemow Avenue from Bronson Avenue to Bank Street. The research also showed that there was a historical and physical association between Clemow and Monkland Avenues, as part of Ottawa’s parkway and driveway network. Accordingly, the study area that was part of the original terms of reference was amended to include Monkland Avenue. 2.0 Description of the Study Area The Phase II study area includes three streets in the Glebe neighborhood: Clemow Avenue between Bronson Avenue and Bank Street, Monkland Avenue and Linden Terrace between O’Connor Street and the Rideau Canal. The area also includes Patterson Creek and its associated park land.
