Historical Society of Ottawa Speaker Series: GATEVILLE & BEYOND: A VILLAGE ON THE EDGE OF CITY & COUNTRYSIDE

October 26, 2024 @ 1:00 pm

Guest Speaker, Stephen McKenna, Historian, Author, Musician

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.
