The Capital Riverfront Challenge
BRIEF
The Capital Riverfront Challenge is a competition that invites students from across the country to come up with ideas for key riverfront parcels in Canada’s Capital Region. The competition is organized by the National Capital Commission (NCC), the federal Crown corporation dedicated to ensuring that Canada’s Capital is a dynamic and inspiring source of pride for all Canadians, and a legacy for generations to come.
Background
The Capital Region stretches across the Ottawa River to include lands in both Ontario and Quebec. The NCC is the largest landowner in the Capital Region, with significant landholdings along both the north and the south shores of the river. During 2018, the NCC completed long-range plans to develop a future vision for these important riverfront lands:
With this groundwork laid, it is a great time to encourage new ideas that could help play a role in enhancing the riverfront of Canada’s Capital.
