Old Ottawa South
June 10, 2:00 pm – MEET: Southminster United Church, Bank at Alymer
In 1907, Nepean Township villages such as Ottawa South were annexed to the City of Ottawa. Improved city services soon followed, such as a new high-level Bank Street Bridge over the canal. It allowed the privately-owned Ottawa Electric Railway to extend streetcar services, stimulating housing and development of one of Ottawa’s first streetcar suburbs.

June 17, 2:00 pm – MEET: Lisgar Road at Princess Avenue
The mix of architectural styles in picturesque Rockcliffe Park range from stately stone mansions and interesting contemporary designs to remaining summer cottages. Learn about the history of the village and the role the MacKay and Keefer families had in determining its layout and the design of many of its homes.
GUIDE: Martha Edmond, author of Rockcliffe Park: A History of the Village
Rideau Canal * (new)
June 24, 2:00 pm - MEET: Bytown Museum (under Parliament Hill)
(This tour will be in French)
In 2007, the Rideau Canal was recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site. On this tour you will hear about the fascinating history of the Ottawa locks where the oldest public building in Ottawa was constructed in 1827, known today as the Bytown Museum. The tour will lead to Major's Hill Park where the remains of the house and the statue in honour of Colonel John By, the man responsible for the construction of the canal between 1826 and 1832, are found. Be prepared to climb a steep hill.

LeBreton Flats - What might have been * (new)
August 12, 2:00 pm. Meet: Albert and Preston Streets, north side parking lot.
LeBreton Flats was the site of much of Ottawa's earliest residential and industrial settlement. The federal government's 1962 initiative to expropriate the lands of LeBreton Flats led to the displacement of some 2,800 members of that community. This tour will examine life on the Flats after expropriation, exploring the sites of various plans for its redevelopment including the proposed Department of National Defence headquarters, projects for affordable housing in the late 1970s, and the current development plan of Claridge Homes that won the bid in 2004 to revitalize the area.
Guide: Julia Sterparn, Carleton University researcher

The walk begins with the ten diverse Noffke houses, including his own, built around Central Park/Patterson Creek, moving along to a sample of Younghusband houses and other more modest houses, historic schools and churches, and newer infill developments by notable Ottawa architects.

Clemow Avenue Driveway: Ottawa's Forgotten Architectural Gem * (new)
September 16, 2:00 pm - MEET: Patterson Creek Pavilion near Linden Terrace and Queen Elizabeth Driveway
A little over a century ago, the Ottawa Improvement Commission set out to beautify Ottawa to make it look more like a capital city. In keeping with the ideals of Frederick Law Olmstead, whose model for architectural and landscape design worked wonders in Washington D.C., the OIC built landscaped scenic driveways along the Rideau Canal and other prominent Ottawa roads. An overlooked feature of the system is Clemow Avenue, first conceived in 1903. The Clemow Avenue Driveway – which included a section of Monkland Avenue – extended west from the Queen Elizabeth Driveway near the canal to Bronson Avenue and Dow’s Lake. Intended as a ceremonial route, it was set up as a wide boulevard, with rows of trees and large houses set well back from the street.
GUIDE: Andrew Elliott, writer, archivist and architectural historian, is working on a community history research project for Clemow Avenue and nearby streets.
Lowertown East
September 23, 2 :00 pm – MEET : École Secondaire de La Salle, Old St. Patrick and Beausoleil, (#1 bus route).
Lowertown East, bounded by Rideau, King Edward, St. Patrick and the Rideau River, has been home to many important religious, residential and civic buildings. Despite a controversial 1970’s urban redevelopment, it is a walkable neighbourhood with a strong multicultural history, five designated heritage buildings, works by important Ottawa architects and a former city cemetery.
GUIDE: David Jeanes, urban activist and long-time resident of Ottawa.
New Edinburgh
October 7, 2:00 pm – MEET: Fraser Schoolhouse, 62 John Street, near Sussex
New Edinburgh, a mill-town founded in 1832, is one of Canada’s earliest planned communities and still presents a largely 19th-century face to the world. The tour, as well looking at the industrial roots of the town and introducing some early inhabitants, will focus thematically on aspects of science and technology in this early Canadian community.
GUIDES: Katherine Arkay, scientist and self-confessed technology nerd, and Janet Uren, writer, are both owners of designated heritage houses in New Edinburgh
Lowertown West
October 14, 2:00 am - MEET : Bytown Museum, on the Rideau Canal ‘neath Parliament Hill
This is the heart of old Bytown where canal workers first settled and some of Ottawa's earliest residential, commercial, and institutional structures can be found.
