Ottawa Public Library, Main Branch Auditorium
Gateville & Beyond, by Stephen McKenna
A village on the edge of city & countryside
Join Stephen McKenna as we trace the history of a working class Gloucester village-like neighbourhood – carved out of the former Billings Estate – and its transition from the era of ice houses, sawmills, brickyards, swimming creeks, and horse-drawn wagons into the modern age of shopping malls and the practicalities of present day suburbia.
Admission is free. All are welcome to attend.
