Carleton University and Algonquin College were both awarded Keys to the City by Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson in separate events recently in recognition of significant milestones.
The Key to the City is Ottawa’s most prestigious award and was given to the University for its 75th anniversary in 2017 and to the College as it celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.
Carleton University was recognized for 75 years of disciplinary and interdisciplinary teaching, study and research, creation and dissemination of knowledge, and betterment of our community while Algonquin was honoured for 50 years of transforming hopes and dreams into lifelong success.
Carleton University opened in 1942 as Carleton College on First Avenue. It quickly expanded as the student population grew with the many soldiers returning from World War II. Carleton officially became a university in 1957 and its current campus along the Rideau River started taking shape at that time.
The current site is now 62 hectares large and the University specializes in Public Affairs, Engineering and Design, International Affairs and Arts and Social Sciences. Today, over 28,000 students attend Carleton annually. The university features 865 faculty members, 1059 staff members, 777 contract instructors and 1,739 teaching assistants. It has graduated over 140,000 students in its 75 years, including many who have made an impact on the City of Ottawa including:
Founded in 1967 when its two predecessors, the Eastern Ontario Institute of Technology and the Ontario Vocational Centre, merged, Algonquin has sent over 160,000 graduates out into the world. Many of these grads have had an impact in many fields at home and abroad. Grads include:
Congratulations and thank you to Carleton University and Algonquin College for enriching our city!
The Key to the City is an ornamental key, presented to esteemed residents, visitors and organizations whom the City of Ottawa wishes to honour. This practice has a symbolic meaning evoking medieval walled cities, the gates of which would be guarded during the day and locked at night. The key symbolizes the freedom of the recipient to enter and leave the city at will as a trusted friend of city residents.
