November 24th Site of New City of Ottawa Archives

November 24th Ottawa
Friday November 21st we attended an unveiling in the cool and windy Ottawa outdoors. The occasion was the unveiling of a sign to mark the future site of the City of Ottawa Central Archives and Ottawa Public Library Materials Centre.

In attendance in some official capacity were Municipal Affairs Minister, Jim Watson, Ottawa Public Library Board Chair, Councillor Jan Harder, Community and Protective Services Committee Chair, Councillor Diane Deans and College Ward Councillor Rick Chiarelli representing the Mayor of Ottawa.

Others in attendance were City Librarian, Barbara Chubb, John Heney and Paul Henry as well as representatives from the Ottawa Branch OGS, BIFHSGO and the Sir Guy Carleton Branch UELAC. My apologies for not naming everyone.

The site is at the SW corner of Woodroffe Avenue and Tallwood Drive. There will be access from the Transitway which will be updgraded in that area as well.
