Welcome to Orléans!
5
0 years ago, the suburb of Orléans had a
population of less than 6,000 people. Today,
Orléans is home to close to 111,000 and is
one of the largest suburban communities in
Ottawa.
The east end neighbourhood has, over the years,
grown to be known as much more than Cumberland,
Gloucester, Blackburn Hamlet and Navan, but Avalon,
Chapel Hill, Orleans Wood and Fallingbrook, among
others.
As each community grows, and with that,
develops its own personal identity, so does
Orléans as a whole. In recent years, we’ve seen
millions of dollars in investment, from every
level of government, into infrastructure projects
to accommodate the rapid development.
"The Heart of Orléans," boasts over 400 businesses
and some of the suburb’s oldest and most unique
destinations along a historical and central stretch.
No matter the season, Orléans has something to
offer. Whether it’s keeping warm with a hot
chocolate and strolling down Taffy Lane in the
winter or sunbathing on Orléans’ own municipal
beach, Petrie Island, to cool off in the summer,
Orléans is now, more than ever, a great place to live,
work and play.
After celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2010,
Orléans can proudly stand back and see its very
own hotel with another one on the way.
It has also become home to the state of the art
With so many options for families in arts, sports,
youth groups, community associations, resource
centres, schools and more, the east end is a haven
for all.

would be an understatement to say that things
are moving and shaking in Orléans as of late.
As the population climbs to 110,000, the needs of Orléans
have changed greatly. With that, comes multi-million dollar
infrastructure projects, new condos, added resources, and the
need for economic development in Orléans.
Currently, the median age for the east end is 38.6 years
(Census 2011), with children below 19 accounting for 24.9%
of the population, mature adults 52.9% and seniors (65 plus)
9.1%.
As more and more people call Orléans their home, the
landscape most also accommodate and develop. In the past
year, we’ve seen construction commence on the Trim Rd.
realignment The $50 million project will see the major arterial
road in Orléans expand from two lanes to four. It will add bike
lanes, landscaping, two roundabouts and will reduce the
road grade between St. Joseph/Old Montreal and Watters Rd.
This leaves 350 ongoing construction projects in Ottawa at
the moment, with residents hoping that short-term pain will
lead to long-term gain.

The Highway 417 Expansion Project will add an additional
lane in each direction, between Nicholas Street and Ottawa
Road 174. This work includes rapid bridge replacements at
Lees Avenue, Vanier Parkway and Belfast Road, widening and
rehabilitation works at the Central and East Transitway as
well as St. Laurent Boulevard, and construction of a new
pedestrian overpass connecting Train Station with Ottawa
Stadium and the Overbrook community. Construction on the
project will be completed by summer 2015.
Another win for Orléans, is the start of contruction to fix the
174/417 split - a long-time source of commuter sorrow, for
east end residents. This $206-million project aims to improve
road safety along the Highway 417 and at the Highway 417
Ottawa Road 174 split and add much needed capacity to the
Queensway. Originally planned as a Ministry of Transportation
of Ontario project, this work is now being done by the City of
Ottawa to coordinate with the $2.1 billion Confederation
Line Light Rail Transit Project. The City of Ottawa boosted the
$206-million investment from the Province with an additional
$20 million to provide transit priority measures to allow the
use of the new lanes by buses during the construction of the
Confederation Line. These lanes will replace the eastern
portion of the Transitway while it is being converted to Light
Rail between 2015 and 2018.

These projects include: the realignment of Trim
Rd., fixing the 417-174 split, fast-tracking a study
into bringing light rail to the east end, standing up
against building an interprovincial bridge in the
east end and the creation of many parks and other
resources enjoyed by the community.
The east end is divided into four wards; each with
a municipal representative.
Bob Monette is responsible for the Orléans Ward
(Ward 1), one of the city’s largest regions, which
comprises the central core of the suburb, including St.

a new park for an up and coming development, issues
with snow removal or simply a friendly face to point
you in the right direction of the city’s resources, these
are the people to turn to. Council meets on the second
and fourth Wednesdays of the month, except in July

Orléans accommodates
aging population
W
ith Orléans being largely a rural area for a great number of years, families first
started laying their roots in major suburban subdivisions constructed in the
community in the late 1960s.
Now, those that came to the east end as young adults, with young families have
aged making the east end community a place where senior’s services are paramount.
With over a dozen retirement residences and assisted living communities available in the east
end, Orléans has become a destination for seniors to spend their later years in state of the art
facilities. Recently, the Résidence St. Louis Manor partnered with Bruyère Continuing Care to
provide complex continuing care, rehabilitation, palliative care, family medicine services and
long-term care in one of Orléans’ largest seniors homes.
The province of Ontario also invested $60 million, in 2011, in a future Orléans Family Health
Hub that will provide not only seniors, but thousands of east-end residents with primary health
care services.
More and more developers are targeting seniors looking to downsize, changing
the landscape of Orléans with new condos that stray from the traditional single
family homes we’re used to seeing in the suburb.

Both the Orléans Cumberland Community Resource Centre and the Eastern
Ottawa Resource Centre have a whole host of programs and services for
seniors. These include, but are not limited to meals on wheels and arranging
for friendly visitors to meet with seniors who may not have many relatives close
by.
In addition, Orléans is home to the province’s first senior’s park. Opening in
2009, andlocated at 315 Centrum Blvd. the Cumberland Seniors Park was built
to accommodate the need for seniors to have their own outdoor space. The park
features games tables, pathways, a waterfall and life-sized chess set-up in the
park’s gazebo, which can also be used for musical entertainment.

Family Vision Care
“Where has the time gone?” Dr. Linda Kwasnick
asks reflectively. “It is hard to believe that this is my
30th anniversary at Orleans Wood Plaza!” What
is the highlight of her career so far? “Dr. Jenna
Bender joining my team” Linda answers without
hesitating. “Jenna and her family have been long
time patients. She provides bilingual services and
allows us to provide extended hours.” The clinic is
open six days a week including Thursday evenings.
community
“Having a growing family vision care clinic is so
rewarding” Linda states. “I just love to be able
to help people. We customize all our services to
every individual’s needs” she adds. Patients are
often commenting that there is always something
new – whether it is the latest technology such as the
retinal camera, new fashion trends, loyalty programs or promotions. “It is always exciting!” she laughs.
Juggling a family and a business herself, she certainly understands the demands on a busy family. “I know
they appreciate going to a “one-stop shop”, where they can get all their vision care needs satisfied, with
expert advice, without having to take a number.” Their services include comprehensive eye examinations,
contact lenses, glasses, vision therapy, laser vision correction co-management, and prescriptions for many
eye conditions.
Both doctors stress the importance of patient education, including U.V. protection, ocular nutrition, proper
contact lens care, eye protection and annual checkups. “Prevention can’t be stressed enough!” Now is
a great time for students to get their eyes examined before school starts. Currently, the clinic is accepting
new patients.

The Francophone ‘Movement ’
in Orléans
A
s the principal presenter of Francophone
shows at the Shenkman Arts Centre,
MIFO (Mouvement d’implication
francophone d’Orléans) offers close to 37
shows per year in various disciplines including
music, comedy, dance, theatre, films, conferences
and youth programming.
For over 30 years, MIFO has promoted the
Francophone cultural expression of the community
in Orléans. MIFO is a multidisciplinary center that
offers a variety of programs in French in the areas
of arts, cultural and community services. Well
rooted in the community, MIFO is the largest
Franco-Ontarian cultural center.
Its goal is to promote French culture and meet the
artistic, cultural, social and educational needs of
Orléans and surrounding Francophone community.
Among other services, it offers summer camps, a
school of music and programs for seniors.
Following Le dîner de cons’s resounding success,
the Théâtre Voix d’Accès is returning with another
comedy by Francis Veber and his iconic character
François Pignon. The character who gave Pierre
Brochant a hard time is now working with a
contract killer who will not have it easy! Now a
master in developing goofy and zany but dedicated
characters, Francis Veber is not straying from his
caricatural nature with L’emmerdeur. Here again,
he plays with human relationships that run out of
control and degenerate to the point of absurdity. A
contract killer is thus tasked by the mafia to
eliminate a troublesome character from the
window of his hotel room that faces a court of law.
What was supposed to be a relatively easy mission
will become a real challenge for
this crook because, unfortunately
for him, his neighbour happens
to be infamous certain François
Pignon! And, on top of this, this
neighbour has suicidal thoughts
and is a real world class pain in
the neck!

Orléans stars know how to skate
Figure skating star Elizabeth Manley, won the silver medal in the ladies program
at the 1988 winter Olympics in Calgary and became a national star. An arena at
the Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex is named in her honour.
Boasting our fair share of sports stars
already, the east end’s roster of
sports stars is likely to sky-rocket in
the coming years.
Former Cumberland Grads player, Claude Giroux, made Orléans proud
by being named an NHL All-Star and becoming the captain of the
Philadelphia Flyers. Known for being a goal-scorer, Giroux was also
recently asked to attend training camp to be on Team Canada for the
next winter Olympics.
Defenseman Erik Gudbranson
made the jump to the NHL with
the Florida Panthers after they
drafted him third overall in
2010. His family has also served
as an inspiration to many
families in Orléans after Erik’s
younger brother Dennis
survived a battle with cancer.
East end’s most recent
hockey addition has
been Orléans resident,
Cody Ceci, being
drafted first overall to
the city’s own Ottawa
Senators.
Jason Akeson is likely to become a
household name in the hockey world.
He played his first NHL game with
the Philadelphia Flyers in their last
game of the season. Just over two
minutes into the first period Akeson
scored his first goal with a pass from
childhood friend Claude Giroux.

A snapshot of Orléans
Cumberland is a community steeped in history. Once Canada’s smallest and westernmost city, Cumberland is now one of the most easterly
points of Ottawa. In the past 20 years, Cumberland has shifted once again from a little Village to a significant destination for outdoor recreation,
culture and tourism. One of the area’s highlights is the Cumberland Heritage Museum. Openingits doors in 1981, it is home to the extensive
archives and artifacts of the community of Cumberland. It offers over 40 exhibits, a Company Store, research services, after school programs,
heritage events, guided tours, films and a replica coal mine. The Museum is located in the heart of the historic Village.
