Summary: Canada Lands Company and Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) are inviting members of the public to take part in a virtual workshop to discuss the future of Tunney’s Pasture

Main Description: On May 25 and May 26, 2022, Canada Lands Company and PSPC will be inviting members of the public to take part in identical virtual workshops to discuss the transformation of Tunney’s Pasture from a single-use employment centre into a vibrant transit-oriented and sustainable mixed-use community that is integrated with surrounding neighbourhoods.

PSPC and Canada Lands Company are collaborating to develop the long-term plan that will guide the implementation of the approved 2014 Tunney’s Pasture Master Plan.

At these identical virtual workshops, participants will be asked to help Canada Lands and PSPC develop a set of community values that reflect the community’s vision for this site, and current views on things such as climate change, housing, and community building in a post-pandemic Ottawa. These will complement the Guiding Principles already included in the Tunney’s Pasture Master Plan.
