HERITAGE OTTAWA’S SEVENTH ANNUAL BOB AND MARY ANNE PHILLIPS MEMORIAL LECTURE:
HERITAGE OTTAWA’S SEVENTH ANNUAL BOB AND MARY ANNE PHILLIPS MEMORIAL LECTURE: FULL CIRCLE: CONSERVATION AND "ADAPTIVE USE" IN RESTORING THE JEANNE D'ARC INSTITUTE ON SUSSEX DRIVE
Thursday, February 16, 2012 Ottawa Public Library Auditorium, 120 Metcalfe St. corner of Laurier Ave. W., 7:00 pm
Designer/developer Ian Johns and author Sarah Jennings recount their adventures in bringing new life to five historic Sussex Drive buildings through a private, subsidy-free development agreement with the National Capital Commission. This first leasehold project of its kind in Canada’s capital has taken buildings dating from Bytown’s
earliest days and the more recent Jeanne d’Arc Institute, between Clarence and York Streets, to form a commercial/residential development that provides a lively and thriving full city block on Ottawa’s “Mile of History”.
Join us for a varied and rich range of topics relating to Ottawa's built heritage!

HERITAGE ON LEBRETON FLATS:
COMMEMORATING THE 1962 EXPROPRIATION
On April 19, 1962, residents of LeBreton Flats received a letter notifying them that the National Capital Commission (NCC) had expropriated their property. Impetus for the project came from the Greber Plan. As part of commemorative efforts to honour WWII veterans, Greber was tasked with turning Ottawa into a national capital fitting for all Canadians. By the end of 1965, the area known as ‘The Flats’ had been completely razed as one of Ottawa’s largest urban renewal projects. Read More
