Qui Sommes-Nous
Notre Mission
Au cours des années, la ville d'Ottawa a perdu bien trop de son architecture historique. Patrimoine Ottawa se veut en quelque sorte la bouée de sauvetage du riche passé de la ville, le protecteur des bâtiments menacés, ainsi que des paysages, des ponts et des monuments historiques qui sont au risque de déstruction. Des centaines d'endroits de notre chère Capitale nationale ont besoin de la protection active des citoyens qui se soucient de l’avenir de leur quartier et de leur communauté. Patrimoine Ottawa travaille de concert avec les communautés locales afin de conserver le patrimoine bâti et veiller à la préservation du tissu historique de la ville d'Ottawa
Qui Sommes-Nous
Constitué en 1975, Patrimoine Ottawa est une organisme à but non lucratif qui est voué à la promotion et la préservation des bâtiments historiques et des paysages de la ville d'Ottawa.

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
