Beaverbrook, Ottawa

Beaverbrook, Ottawa

Beaverbrook is a neighbourhood in the former city of Kanata which became a part of Ottawa, Ontario when it was amalgamated in 2001.

The area was mostly residential until the 1960s when developer and planner Bill Teron set about creating a planned community. The community didn't grow as he had originally planned, but eventually became the City of Kanata, founded in 1978.

Bounded by the Kanata North Business Park to the north, March Road to the east, Campeau Drive to the south and Knudson Avenue & Weslock Way to the west. The first and oldest neighbourhood in Kanata, Beaverbrook is known for its hedged houses and community facilities. Beaverbrook is also home to Canadian billionaire Terry Matthews.
