With Wateridge being a new and exciting neighbourhood, the Wateridge Village Community Association Planning and Development Committee is kept busy providing comments, suggestions and ideas on many different developments in and around Wateridge. We collaborate constructively with the Canada Lands Company, the City of Ottawa Planning Department and other departments involved in development applications, developers and builders, commercial tenants and owners, parties interested in purchasing lands to make Wateridge the best neighbourhood it can be.

One of the common questions types we often get is wondering if we know what is going to go on a certain land parcel. We created and maintain this page provide basic information as development applications for various parcels get submitted, land gets offered for sale, or parks and greenspaces get planned and developed. We also discuss these in our Newsletter and resident Facebook group.

We invite you to explore this page either by simply scrolling or clicking a land parcel you are curious about on the interactive map below.

Canada Lands maintains a phasing map of Wateridge showing details of the types of developments that may go on each section. https://wateridge.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Wateridge-Phasing-September-2023.pdf

We often reference the following documents when we comment on applications:

• Former CFB Rockcliffe Community Design Plan
• Former CFB Rockcliffe Community Design Plan Appendix: Parks Master Plan
• Wateridge Village Secondary Plan
• City of Ottawa Zoning Bylaw
• Wateridge Village Commemoration Handbook

French Catholic Elementary School – 550 Wanaki Road

This parcel of land is being considered for the Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est for a future French Catholic Elementary School.

In January 2025, the Ontario government announced $19 million in funding to construct this 377 student French language catholic elementary school. https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1005655/ontario-making-historic-13-billion-investment-to-build-and-expand-more-schools

In December 2025, the City of Ottawa received Official Plan Amendment and Zoning Bylaw Amendment applications to permit the land to be used for a two story elementary school, along with a playing field, a parking lot and an area portable classrooms should they be required in the future. The application details can be found below. A site plan application will also be required prior to construction. It will deal with most design details. That said, the zoning application did include an early concept site plan and renderings.

The transportation plan recommends five changes to Wanaki road to be addressed during the site plan process.

• Developing a defined lay-by space for buses that does not interfere with the Mikinak Road/Wanaki Road
  intersection or OCT Stop #7101. This could involve locating the lay-by area to the south, which would require
  reconstructing the existing lay-by.
• Re-arranging the sidewalk and cycle track to accommodate the bus lay-by, such that there is sufficient space to
  prevent interference between boarding/alighting operations and the cycle track.
• Installing a new pedestrian crossover south of, or in the vicinity of, the proposed site access to provide an
  alternative east-west crossing of Wanaki Road.
• Implementing an all-way stop-controlled intersection at the Mikinak Road/Wanaki Road intersection, as
  recommended by the CTS, which can facilitate student crossings of Wanaki Road. Additional intersection
  improvements, such as a raised crossing or raised intersection should also be considered in the context of the
  surrounding land uses.
• Designating Wanaki Road as a school/community safety zone and implementing horizontal measures as necessary
  to achieve a 30 km/h speed limit

Zoning Bylaw Amendment: https://devapps.ottawa.ca/en/applications/D02-02-25-0085/details

On February 25, 2026, Ottawa City Council passed the zoning and official plan applications. We expect a site plan application to follow in the near future.

Tanakiwin Natural Area

Parc TANAKIWIN Park, Algonquin for “our homeland” (formerly known as Northeast Woods)
Theme: Nature, Spirituality, Culture, Quiet Contemplation

This concept focuses on the interconnectedness between humans and Mother Earth; provides opportunities for reflection; teaches about indigenous plant material, humans’ roles in nature, and the connections to plants, animals, weather, etc.

Proposed Major Features:

• Sheltered area(s) for gathering (designed with traditional Algonquin building materials and forms)
• Creation of a low boardwalk or wood chip trail to encourage users to ‘walk lightly on Mother Earth’ and allow for a guided path through existing vegetation and topography
• Areas for quiet contemplation, reflection, and spiritual connection which include mirrored surfaces for reflection of self and of nature
• Educational opportunities
• Interpretive signage and specific areas for teaching and observation of the natural environment
• Learning circle area

The Forest Special Design Area is a residential area surrounded by an existing forest and designed to have minimal impact on this forest and the existing water regime it relies upon.

This area will utilize low impact development features such as drainage swales, narrow private roads, and small building footprints to minimize the impact on groundwater levels and the existing tree root systems. Efforts will be made to limit deep excavations to protect root networks and new buildings will be encouraged to incorporate rooftop rainwater collection and reuse systems as groundwater recharge elements.

As this is an early concept plan, significant revisions to the plan are expected.

---

Kishkabika Park – 130 Oshedinaa

Kishkabika park will be largest in Wateridge. The preliminary design adds additional walking paths, natural areas, play grounds and a splash pad to Wateridge.

This park also includes the waterfall and look-out plaza overlooking Rockcliffe airport and the parkway. A connection to the NCC cycling network and adjacent park lands is also included. A bottom of the Waterfall is a scenic pond.

---

Miechimin Park

Parc MIESHIMIN Park, Algonquin for “acorn of white oak”
Theme: Nature in Daily Algonquin Life/Culture

This concept focuses on providing an area for the public to experience nature and learn about its importance to the Algonquin people in their daily life and culture. The primary objective is to preserve and highlight the sensitive existing mature Bur Oaks and Willow by creating a simple, natural environment for people to experience the spiritual presence of the trees, surrounded by natural meadow areas.

Proposed Major Features:

Quiet contemplation areas and gathering spaces with incorporated seating and interpretive signage

Low slanted walls in a layout that can represent the medicine wheel, cardinal directions, or the dream catcher to subtly guide users to the central gathering area featuring the preserved Willow, a significant species in Algonquin culture for food, medicinal use, building material, weaving, and ceremonies. The walls create a canvas for interpretation and art to provide education about the natural features including the significance of the existing trees, meadow species (indigenous and ethno-botanical varieties) and the relation of plants to culture, society, economy and health

As this is an early concept plan, significant revisions to the plan are expected.

Wing Officer Winnifred Taylor Park

This park will include naturalized areas, a play ground, open space and decorative storm water management features.

Phase 8 Lands

Phase 8 lands are current in the concept stage. Land zoning is required before this area can be developed. Mid-rise development is envisioned nestled in the wooded area that was used for officers housing in the days of the military base.

The area is surrounded by the Tanakiwin Natural Area and expected to contain many special environmental and low impact development (LID) features.

An conceptual sketch for testing density targets and ideas was presented at an open house in 2023. A builders plan would likely differ considerably. This land has not yet been offered for sale to builders.

A formal zoning application is needed prior to development.
