On the tour, John talked about the history of Lansdowne Park and its many uses and construction, how the styles of houses have changed over the years, the history of Bank Street and how it is designed to be a functioning retail hotspot within the Glebe.  He also focused on the ways that Ottawa is designed and constructed as a symbolic capital city, and how planning has shaped the Glebe into the friendly neighbourhood it is today.

Finally, we had a couple of visitors, Pat and Steve, from the Carleton University Geographic Association drop by the studio. They talked about their work within Carleton, and some of their upcoming events. You can contact them for more information at cugeogclub(at)gmail.com
