Strong First Nations voice key to redevelopment of Chaudière Falls area, panel agrees – Ottawa Citizen
August 22, 2015
The success of the redevelopment of Chaudière and Albert islands is a complex issue that hinges on a strong First Nations voice, a panel heard Saturday afternoon.
It was one of the few areas of agreement in the panel discussion, entitled Unceded Ottawa: The Algonquin and the Outaouais, dealing mainly with the massive Zibi residential development proposed for the former Domtar lands off Booth Street between Ottawa and Gatineau.
The panel was held inside a long-disused Albert Island warehouse that had been spruced up as part of Ottawa’s Arboretum arts and music festival.
