A deeply green urban community is set to rise on land where young Oblate
brothers played outdoor hockey in the 1930s and collected sap from maple trees
to sweeten morning porridge in the dining room of their religious home, the
Edifice Deschâtelets. Next door, Les Soeurs du Sacré Coeur de Jésus Sisters of
the Sacred Heart toiled to clean after and care for the brothers, cultivating
vegetable gardens off Main Street in what is now Old Ottawa East, a blended
community of modest homes built 50 years ago and a rising number of new, infill
homes. via
