If I were not attending the BIFHSGO Conference I'd be tempted by Heritage Ottawa's Heritage Forum. Held at Kars with the Rideau Township Historical Society, the day's events are:
Giulio Maffini, an architect with over 30 years of experience as an entrepreneur, will discuss Manotick's experience with the City Design Guidelines for Rural Villages with a focus on the Falls House in Manotick Village.
City of Ottawa Heritage Planner Anne Fitzpatrick will explain heritage policies with an emphasis on the Heritage Register and Designation.
A City of Ottawa Archivist will share information on the resources available for researching the buildings, events and people who tell the stories of our rural communities.
A brief history of Kars will be followed by a guided walking tour of the picturesque village by local resident Cameron Minor.
Jim Mountain, Director of Regeneration Projects at the National Trust for Canada, will share his years of experience training and coaching communities on how to regen-
erate their Main Streets.
A closing Bus Tour with commentary by Owen Cooke will take participants on a drive through beautiful Rideau Township, stopping at heritage sites along the way including such landmarks as St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, the Thomson Barn, the Rideau Archives, and more.
Lunch and refreshment breaks will be provided.
The day begins at the Kars RA located at 1604 Old Wellington Street at 9:30 am and continues to 4:00 pm. Doors open at 9:00 am.
