Alta Vista Ward
Alta Vista Ward

Alta Vista Ward (Ward 18) is a city ward in the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada represented on Ottawa City Council. Alta Vista Ward was created prior to the 1966 election when Gloucester Ward was split in half due to population growth in the Alta Vista area. Until the 1972 elections, the ward was represented by two councillors (then called aldermen). Prior to the 1980 election, the Ward was split in half, with the western half remaining as Alta Vista ward and the eastern half became Canterbury Ward. They were reunited prior to the 1994 Election and was known as Ward 10, and given the name Alta Vista-Canterbury Ward in 1995. During this time, on regional council it was known as just Alta Vista Ward. It was renamed to Alta Vista in 2000. The ward is located in Ottawa's southeast end, and covers the neighbourhoods of Eastway Gardens, Riverview, Alta Vista, Heron Gate and Sheffield Glen. The Ward is often advertised by candidates as "Alta Vista-Canterbury-Riverview", as there was a plan to name it that in 1997. The ward covers an area of 20.3 km2. There is only a small boundary change for the 2006 election: the boundary will follow Highway 417 instead of the old city limits from Walkley north to the CPR right-of-way. Until 2014, the ward was represented by Peter Hume. He defeated incumbent Allan Higdon in the 2000 election. It was a battle of incumbents, as Hume was a regional councillor until the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton was abolished. Jean Cloutier replaced Hume in 2014. Key issues affecting the Alta Vista ward since 2000 have been: the proposed Alta Vista transportation corridor Archived 2006-10-03 at the Wayback Machine, the fate of the Canada Science and Technology Museum, as well as the O-Train expansion.

Alta Vista, Ottawa
Alta Vista, Ottawa

Alta Vista is a neighbourhood in Alta Vista Ward in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Its boundaries according to the Alta Vista Community Association are that part of Alta Vista Ward south of Smyth Road in the north, north of Walkley Road and east of the Rideau River (and Bank Street), and west of the "greenspace underneath Haig Drive". However, the name is ambiguous, as there are several sub-neighbourhoods in this area, (see list below), as the neighbourhood could refer to the ward as a whole, down to the core Alta Vista area, (which could be defined as south of Pleasant Park Road, north of Heron Road, and west of the eastern greenspace corridor), centred on Alta Vista Drive. Alta Vista Drive is a major street running through the neighbourhood, and shares its name. Both are named for their relative height, as the neighbourhood is generally higher than most of the city. Alta Vista is a highly residential neighbourhood with a strong community, several schools, religious buildings of many faiths, and community centres. It also has a vast amount of greenspace and parks, much of which is part of the Alta Vista Transportation Corridor Environmental Assessment Ottawa East Community Association. The OC Transpo Transitway also runs through Alta Vista, with two stations in the neighbourhood itself (Pleasant Park and Riverside) as well as two just outside (Billings Bridge and Smyth), serving as a vital transit link to the rest of the city. The General Campus of the Ottawa Hospital, and The Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario are located just on the north side of Smyth Road, in Riverview, while the Riverside Campus of the Ottawa Hospital is located at Smyth and Riverside Drive. There are two shopping malls in and around Alta Vista: the Billings Bridge Plaza Shopping Centre at Bank Street and Riverside and the Elmvale Shopping Centre at St. Laurent and Smyth. Alta Vista had a population of about 24,726 as of the Canada 2021 Census (Community Association borders).

It opened as an enclosed mall in 1961 and was one of the earliest fully enclosed shopping malls in the city.The mall is bounded by Smyth Road to the north, Othello Avenue to the west, Russell Road to the east, and St. Laurent Boulevard to the south.

The shopping centre is currently owned by RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust. The shopping centre is adjacent to the Elmvale Station providing bus service via OC Transpo routes 40, 46, 48, 49, and 55. The enclosed portion of the mall was demolished in 2005 and replaced by two ranges facing each other across the parking lot. Proprietor RioCan began further redevelopment in 2017, projecting a mix of new commercial and residential buildings with 570 new residential units and a 3,150 square metres (33,900 sq ft) park. Plans include three 16-storey towers along St. Laurent Boulevard, which would be the tallest buildings along this street, as well as a 9-storey building along Smyth Road. Construction began in 2019 and will be implemented over 10 to 15 years.On January 31, 2019, a 30 year old man was shot and killed by an OPS officer during an altercation. Dispatch audio indicates the man was seen walking into the mall holding a knife in his hand. Sources told CBC News that the officer was cut on his forehead. As of February 2019, the Special Investigations Unit is still investigating the case.
