After multiple rounds of public consultation, the NCC Board of Directors has approved the Sir George-Étienne Cartier Park Plan.
The park comprises 600 hectares of land and includes the banks of the Ottawa River, the parkway, multi-use pathways, and a variety of public and private recreational spaces. From west to east, the area extends from Rideau Hall at Princess Avenue to the terminus of the parkway at St. Joseph Boulevard, and includes lands adjacent to the northern boundary of Rothwell Heights.
Next steps in the plan development process will be to identify and study the implementation of potential projects, which will involve further public and stakeholder input before implementation.
