HomeA Second Century of Vision, Planning and Development
With the publication of the Plan for Canada’s Capital in 1999, the process that began over 100 years ago, to turn the Capital region into a metropolis with a strong symbolic core integrated into a network of green lands and waterways, is set to continue for another 50 years at least.
Why do we need a plan?
The Plan for Canada’s Capital is the federal government’s statement of how it sees the Capital region developing. The NCC uses the plan to:
