City Council today approved a plan to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action to redress the legacy of residential schools and advance reconciliation.
The plan includes a Council Statement of Reconciliation and 14 initiatives, which include displaying Indigenous art, collaborating with Indigenous service providers on child care and family programs, providing cultural awareness training and increasing the number of Aboriginal people employed at the City.
More than 500 people, the majority of whom are from Indigenous communities, contributed to the City’s plan. The approved plan builds on the work of the City’s Aboriginal Working Committee.
Council approved a motion outlining the City’s bid commitments to host the 2020 North American Indigenous Games, the largest multi-sport and multi-disciplinary event of its kind in North America. The Games, which involve 5,000 Indigenous youth and align with the City’s Reconciliation Action Plan, would generate socio-economic benefits through sport competitions and rich cultural programming.
City Council also approved Official Plan and zoning changes that will allow new uses of Dominion-Chalmers United Church by Carleton University.
Carleton University intends to use Dominion-Chalmers, at Cooper Street and O’Connor Street, as a post-secondary education facility and theatre. No changes are planned for the church’s exterior and the building will continue to operate as a place of worship. However, the building will accommodate a performing arts venue for Carleton University’s Music program, and will be the new home of the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra. It will also feature exhibit space for the Carleton University Art Gallery. It could also be used for other cultural events, such as Chamberfest and the Writers Festival.
Council approved policy changes and amendments to the Transit By-law to align with how transit will operate when the O-Train Confederation Line comes into service. The updated by-law will take effect on Monday, April 2.
The approved policy changes recommended by the Transit Commission include:
Council also approved zoning amendments to permit residential developments in Sandy Hill and Wellington West.
In Sandy Hill, the approved changes permit a four-storey, 40-unit apartment with 150 square metres of ground floor commercial space at the corner of Henderson Avenue and Templeton Street. In Wellington West, Council approved a nine-storey, mixed-use building on Wellington Street West, at the intersection of Garland Street. The building is to have commercial space on the ground floor and 57 residential units above.
