7.Beacon Hill 介绍
Beacon Hill是Ottawa东北部的一个社区,被视作Orleans和Gloucester的郊区,在并入Ottawa之前属于Gloucester的一部分,有时被叫做"The Beaks","Beacon","The Hill" 或者 "The BH".
Beacon Hill主要是居住区,建于六七十年代,被Montreal road分为Beacon Hill North和 Beacon Hill South,有三所高中, Colonel By, Gloucester H.S., 和 Lester B. Pearson Catholic High School. 区域东起Greenbelt, 包括Ruisseau Green's Creek ravine area, 南到Highway 174, 西到Cardinal Heights (Montreal Road以南) and Rothwell Heights (Montreal Road以北).

社区的名字源于Ottawa River的一个灯塔,河上灯塔的光能从山顶看到,因此叫Beacon Hill. 尽管灯塔不再用了,它的foundation依然能在Bike Path上被看到。
