A former Quebec MLA from Hull will become the president of the NCC Board of Directors according to Radio Canada (CBC)


https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/197...idente-nomination-conseil-administration

Maryse Gaudreault nommée à la tête du conseil d’administration de la CCN
Radio-Canada
Publié à 18 h 19



L’ex-députée de Hull à l’Assemblée nationale du Québec, Maryse Gaudreault est nommée présidente du conseil d’administration de la Commission de la capitale nationale (CCN).

Défaite aux dernières élections provinciales, Maryse Gaudreault entrera en fonction à compter du 6 juin prochain pour un mandat de quatre ans.

« C'est un beau mandat qui va me permettre de rapprocher encore plus la CCN de la population de la région. »

Mme Gaudreault a été nommée par décret sur recommandation de la ministre des Services publics et de l’Approvisionnement, Helena Jaczek.

Après avoir été députée pendant 14 ans en Outaouais, Maryse Gaudreault s’est dite ravie de participer à nouveau à l'action publique.

C'est pour moi une façon de continuer de servir. Il y a plein de beaux projets autant du côté québécois que du côté ontarien. C'est très enlevant ce qui nous attend, a-t-elle indiqué dans une réponse écrite envoyée à Radio-Canada.

De son côté, la CCN s’est dite enchantée d’accueillir dans son organisation l’ancienne députée.

Nous sommes très heureux de la nomination de Mme Gaudreault. C’est une personne qui connaît bien la région de la capitale nationale. Nous avons hâte de travailler avec elle pour continuer à faire rayonner la région d’Ottawa-Gatineau, a indiqué dans un courriel la société de la Couronne.

Maryse Gaudreault rejoint le conseil d'administration de la CCN qui est composé de 13 autres membres représentant la région de la capitale et d’autres parties du pays, du premier dirigeant Tobi Nussbaum ainsi que des maires d’Ottawa et de Gatineau.

Un moment charnière

La nomination de Maryse Gaudreault arrive à un moment charnière de l’histoire de la CCN. Celle qui remplacera Marc Seaman à la présidence de la CCN devra gérer plusieurs dossiers, dont la revitalisation des Plaines Lebreton.
La société de la Couronne a aussi entamé ce mois-ci les travaux d’assainissement au 24, promenade Sussex. Ces travaux permettront de stabiliser le bâtiment, même si aucune décision n’est encore prise quant à l’avenir de la résidence officielle du premier ministre qui se trouve dans un état critique.

D’ailleurs, les autres résidences officielles du Canada ont aussi besoin d'un sérieux coup de lustre. Les rénovations des six résidences officielles et 49 autres bâtiments secondaires appartenant à la CCN pourraient coûter à la société de la Couronne quelques 653,2 millions de dollars.

Enfin, l’ex-députée de Hull devra gérer le litige qui oppose Chelsea à la CCN concernant les revenus fonciers des terrains fédéraux, alors que la municipalité a reçu récemment l’appui de l’Union des municipalités du Québec.

Rappelons que la CCN est une société de la Couronne qui a pour rôle de gérer et d’aménager les terrains appartenant au fédéral. À ce titre, elle possède et gère plus de 11 % de tous les terrains de la région de la capitale du Canada.

Not too happy with this one. In her 14 years as an MPP, about 8 of those in Government, she did just about nothing for Hull or the Outaouais.

This is just a student competition, more as a thought experiment than actual concepts, but could be interesting for some. It's a reimagining of Sussex Drive between the National Art Gallery and 24 Sussex.

As long as Sussex is 17 lanes wide, lined with atrocious architecture for most of its length, with an "urban" environment that is largely dominated by a freeway bridge passing under it, it will continue to be awful.

I was fortunate enough to be one of the members of the winning submission. If anyone has any questions about our proposal, I'd be happy to answer them.

Thanks! I don't believe the NCC has posted the boards yet. Hopefully they do that this week.

Algonquin groups reach consensus on new SJAM name: NCC letter
Unveiling could happen this fall if board approves renaming later this month

CBC News
Posted: Jun 09, 2023 12:01 PM EDT | Last Updated: 9 minutes ago


Algonquin communities consulted over what to rename Ottawa's Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway have reached a consensus and the new name Kichi Zībī Mīkan will be recommended to the National Capital Commission's board of directors later this month, according to a letter circulated by one of the Indigenous groups involved.

In a June 7 letter addressed to Kitigan Zibi Anishinābeg Chief Dylan Whiteduck, commission CEO Tobi Nussbaum said an unveiling ceremony will be planned for this fall if the board approves the name at its next meeting on June 22.

The letter was included in Kitigan Zibi Anishinābeg's weeekly newsletter.

"I was informed by my team that [groups] reached a consensus for a new name: Kichi Zībī Mīkan," Nussbaum stated in the letter. It said the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation were also consulted about the new name and a letter sent to its chief.

Mīkan, pronounced MEE-khan, is an Algonquin word meaning road or path. Kichi Zībī means great river and is the Algonquin name for what would later be called the Ottawa River.

An NCC spokesperson said Friday the federal Crown corporation, which oversees the parkway, would not talk about the proposed name change until the board meeting.

The parkway has carried the first prime minister's name for over a decade.

The Ottawa River Parkway was renamed in his honour in 2012, under the government of former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper.

In June 2021, three Ottawa city councillors sent a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urging the federal government to facilitate an Indigenous-led consultation process to rename the parkway.

The councillors wrote the letter after ground-penetrating radar located some 200 suspected unmarked graves at a former residential school site in Kamloops, B.C., saying there was an "urgent need" for Canada to commit to projects of reconciliation.

Macdonald authorized the creation of the residential school system while he was in power in the 1880s. It is estimated that more than 150,000 First Nations, Métis and Inuit children were forced to attend the government-funded, church-operated schools, where many suffered abuse and some died. The last such school closed in 1996.

The commission's board of directors unanimously approved the recommendation to move forward with a renaming and engaging Indigenous communities.

"I am thankful for the generosity of the participants who shared views, stories and cultural references about the area, highlighting the profound connection the Algonquin Anishinabeg maintain with the river and surroundings," Nussbaum wrote.

In other words, we're renaming it the River Parkway, but in Algonquin.

Name is interesting because it ties Kitchi Sibi (ward, station, lookout) and Zibi, but it will be hard to remember and too long to use it verbally. I'm sure people will come up with a short hand like SJAM.

I've been assuming the word parkway (since Mikan is the descriptor) is being dropped and it will simply be

Kichi Zibi Mikan

So the short form will likely default to The Mikan (at least until the SGEC Parkway is renamed.)

Since Kichi Zībī Mīkan seems to be a direct translation of "Ottawa River Parkway", there's always that more familiar and relatable moniker to use as well. In the end it's going to be called by whatever name people are most comfortable calling it. I'm glad they went with something that has good wayfinding sensibilities.

And when traffic is inevitably backed up at the Champlain bridge we can always call it The Mikan't

NCC Board Meeting June 22.

Agenda not up yet. Really hoping for some good news on the Flats District. Doubt we'll hear anything on the arena until October.

Agenda for next Thursday's Board Meeting is up. Topics of interest include Parkway renaming, Sussex Drive Courtyards, Phase 3 and 4 of the new Civic Hospital, Centre Block rehab, LGBTQ+ monument. Nothing on LeBreton, though it comes up on Wednesday's in-camera meeting agenda.

LeBreton seems to be going well with Dream and then the memorandum of understanding with the Sens, but the Flats district has been dragging on for a while, and we're hearing all sorts of speculation about other sites for the arena.
