Greenspace Alliance of Canada’s Capital

A First Submission to the NCC

Since 2002, the NCC Board of Directors has been inviting “local interest groups” to make presentations to it to inform the Commission’s strategic planning. The Greenspace Alliance was the first group to respond to the call with a presentation on the proposed Poets’ Pathway. Read the submission here.

Meetings with NCC staff followed. There was no offer of support.  Instead, we were referred to the Commission’s Commemoration Policy, with a request that we submit a business plan.  For better or for worse, the Committee felt that, without an initial indication of support-in-principle on the part of the Commission, developing a business plan would not be feasible.
