Fox & Feather Pub and Grill283 Elgin Street, Ottawa, Ontario
On Wednesday, November 21st the Book Club will meet from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Fox & Feather Pub and Grill to discuss Alain Miguelez’s book, Transforming Ottawa: Canada’s Capital in the Eyes of Jacques Gréber. All are welcome to attend! About Transforming Ottawa“Transforming Ottawa is an invitation to wander the streets of one of Canada’s most beautiful cities, as if you were transported back to the late 1930s, and discover why and how the city changed so much in the decades that followed. If you live in Ottawa, chances are you’ve heard of the Gréber Plan. Adopted by the federal government in 1950, this blueprint for the nation’s capital was almost entirely implemented over the decades and, in many ways, has defined our city as we know it today. But what did Ottawa look like before the Gréber Plan? What did that Plan see as the city’s burning problems, and how did it propose to resolve them? In hindsight, how did the solutions play out? Transforming Ottawa is based on the rediscovery, at the National Archives, of a large collection of hauntingly beautiful street scenes of Ottawa in 1937-38, commissioned by Jacques Gréber himself. The book looks at our city as Gréber saw it in 1937, when he first set foot in Ottawa, describes his famous 1950 plan, and discusses its outcomes and effects.”
