Lowertown East Walking Tour
August 20, 2017 - 14:00 - 15:30
Lowertown East, bounded by Rideau Street, King Edward Avenue and the Rideau River, has been home to many important religious, residential and civic buildings. Despite a controversial 1970s urban redevelopment, it is a walkable neighbourhood with a strong multicultural history.
The tour will focus on the area’s built heritage and the stories surrounding three key parks – Anglesea Square, the oldest square in Ottawa; Macdonald Gardens, designed on the site of a cemetery; and Bordeleau Park, reclaimed from the Rideau River.
GUIDE: Nancy Miller Chenier is Co-Chair of the Lowertown Community Association Heritage Committee and a long-time resident of Lowertown East.
