The NEW Civic Campus
Development of a New Civic Hospital Campus for the next Century
The redevelopment of the Ottawa Hospital Civic campus is thee single most important development affecting the Civic Hospital neighbourhood in our history and CHNA is actively engaged as the process unfolds. CHNA is considered an important stakeholder in this process. We will keep this page up to date with the most current information available.
There are many strong and divided opinions about the hospital redevelopment. CHNA is focused on advocating for an open and fair process, ensuring that the public has an opportunity to be consulted in a meaningful way. We have also advised the hospital, our City Councillor, and our MPP, that our concerns about traffic, parking and public transit access will all need to be addressed. Our local roads are at or over capacity today. Traffic is anticipated to increase dramatically from today's numbers with the the return of onsite staff parking, the redevelopment of the current Civic Campus, and the upcoming redevelopment of Westgate Shopping Centre. Addressing the additional traffic requirements is critical and must be part of the redevelopment design from the beginning, and cannot be treated as an after thought.

In addition, the submission was discussed at CHNA's fall AGM, where residents expressed their support for the thrust of the document.
Among the highlights of the submission are:
- CHNA and its members are convinced that the city has an obligation to provide the evidence and rationale for the proposed zoning at the same time or before the zoning and official plan amendment Applications are submitted.
- CHNA is also convinced that the Mixed Use designation must be scaled back to remove uses that are not consistent with uses ancillary to a hospital or medical facility.
- For the hospital to adequately serve the broader community, CHNA is calling for a holistic, area-wide transportation plan to determine how best to manage the increased traffic (pedestrian, cycling, transit, private vehicular and service) generated by the new Civic Campus. This is particularly important given the plans for intensification in the various neighbourhoods adjacent to the campus.

October 12, 2017 - CHNA Transportation Committee Comments
At the October 12th meeting of the Transportation Committee, the request for a rezoning of the lands designated for the New Civic was reviewed. After reviewing the City documents, the CHNA Transportation Committee has determined that "Until such time as all transportation related studies are completed, the rezoning application is premature and is strongly opposed by the CHNA on this basis." Details can be found HERE in the CHNA TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE document – What you need to know about the Civic Campus Relocation- October 12, 2017.
Sep 2017 - CHNA Comments regarding New Civic Zoning Application and Sept. 25th Public Meeting
CHNA has responded twice to the City regarding the applications to rezone the lands designated for The Ottawa Hospital New Civic Campus and received a timely response from the City from our first submission.
Additionally, we have sent a letter to officials regarding the recent Public Meeting on Sept. 25th which we felt was not as open and collaborative as it should have been.

Among the concerns that CHNA raises in our submission:
- Zoning amendments are premature given that the study to determine future community healthcare needs and the size of the facility will not be completed until 2018; and,
- a comprehensive area traffic management study has not been undertaken which would assess the full impact of the development for which the rezoning is sought.

NCC asked to make a location recommendation by end of November - May 26, 2016
Heritage Minister Mélanie Joly has asked the NCC to review possible sites identified by the hospital and to make a recommendation and justification of a preferred site by the end of November.
As per the Ottawa Citizen report: " Earlier this year, the federal government asked the hospital to consider four possible sites for the new Civic campus. One is at Tunney’s Pasture, but the others are all on Experimental Farm land: the original site announced in November 2014, a site further east, on the northern edge of the farm, and the site of the now-demolished Sir John Carling Building, just south of Carling Avenue and west of Preston Street and Prince of Wales Drive." The hospital submitted their review of the four sites to the Federal government in April.
As part of this new process, the NCC will not be limited to evaluating the 4 sites. The only stipulation is that the locations should be in Ottawa’s urban core.
NCC chief executive Mark Kristmanson states that the NCC will “conduct a thorough review” of prospective sites and that “over the next few weeks, the NCC’s professional planning team will develop a plan of action, including public and stakeholder consultations, to arrive at a recommendation in the next six months,”.
The plan is expected to be presented to the NCC’s board at its June 28 public meeting.

What about the Current Campus?
Questions have swirled regarding the fate of the current Civic campus if the hospital moved. While the province hasn't made any firm plans, Dr. Jack Kitt's, TOH President and CEO, has introduced the concept of a "Health Hub" that would include primary care physicians, clinics and a long term care facility.
Residents had feared the province would simply sell the land for development, but it's important to know that when the City transferred the land to the Civic Hospital in 2000, they included a proviso that the land would revert back to City ownership if the land is not used to provide non-profit hospital health care.

Mar 7, 2016 - New Civic Hospital Public Consultation
The Ottawa Hospital (TOH) held a public information session on March 7 regarding their plans to move and rebuild the Civic campus. The session included an open house format with information boards and experts, as well as a presentation by TOH and a Q&A session.
The majority of the questions posed by the public were focused on the location selection. Many expressed concerns about the fact that 3 of the 4 locations being considered are on the Central Experimental Farm. The Hospital is currently evaluating 4 sites (3 on CEW including the site of the demolished Sir John Carling building, and 1 at Tunney's Pasture) and will submit the results of their evaluation and their preferred location to the Federal Government by late Spring.
Note: Future open houses will be closer to our area. TOH apologized to residents that, despite their best efforts, their consultant could not find a suitable location close to the hospital for the March 07th meeting. The facility needed to be large enough for the number of expected attendees, offer free parking, and be accessible via transit.
Attached is the invitation sent by Dr. Jack Kitts on February 19th and includes an agenda for the session.

Feb 29, 2016 - The Ottawa Hospital Public Consultation Committee (PCC)
CHNA participated in the inaugural session of the hospital’s Public Consultation Committee (PCC) on Feb 29th. This group was established by The Ottawa Hospital to give stakeholders like CHNA the opportunity to provide input and feedback through the various stages of the new campus development project. Participants included Hospital Executives, the 3 nearby community associations (CHNA, Carlington, Island Park) , Central Experimental Farm supporters, the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce, Algonquin College and more. Observers included representatives from the Champlain LHIN, MPP Yasir Naqvi's office, and MP Catherine McKenna's office.
Dr. Kitt's provided the need for a new campus to replace the aging Civic Campus and their vision for the replacement facility. He also reviewed the process followed to date to plan for that replacement. Cameron Love, TOH Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer that provided more details on the evaluation done to date, the requirement for 60 acres, and the site selection process. They found that 10 of the 12 locations large enough in Ottawa for such a development were owned by the Federal Government. Transportation and Access was one of the top 3 criteria for site selection (see selection criteria below). TOH had held off public consultation until land was selected and approval to proceed was received by the LHIN.
Dr. Kitt's vision for the existing campus is to act as a "Health Village or Health Hub" that would provide Assisted Living, Palliative Care, Primary Health Care Physicians, and green space.
The Committee spent the remainder of the meeting advising on the upcoming public consultation and asked that the location selection was included along with the plans for the new campus and that Farm supporters should have a booth as well.

Feb 25, 2016 - CHNA and Catherine McKenna- Ottawa Centre MP
CHNA met with Catherine McKenna's office to discuss the upcoming consultations regarding the new Civic Campus. Focus for both CHNA and Catherine is ensuring the location selection is done as part of an open process that includes meaningful public engagement and input.
CHNA also advised that the final location selected must be able to accommodate the additional traffic burden when 5000+ staff return to parking onsite (today they park offsite). Addressing the additional traffic requirements is critical and must be part of the location decision making, and cannot be treated as an after thought . Our local roads are at or over capacity today. If the location selected is close to the current campus, traffic is anticipated to increase dramatically from today's numbers with the the return of onsite staff parking, the redevelopment of the current Civic Campus, and the upcoming redevelopment of Westgate Shopping Centre.

Feb 2016 - TOH Reevaluating Location Options for New Hospital
The Ottawa Hospital is bowing to pressure from groups that oppose the move to the Central Experimental Farm and they are reevaluating the location options for the new hospital. According to the Citizen, "four options are being considered: the status quo, a different configuration on the same site that allows some farm research to continue, Tunney’s Pasture, and the site of the demolished Sir John Carling building near Carling at the east end of the experimental farm." Location assessments were last done in 2007, and much has changed since then, including the fact the federal government wants to redevelop Tunney’s. It's access to the LRT is an attractive feature.
It's been announced that there will be a public information session on March 7. Details on time and location are TBD.
