• Notes

  Former Institut Jeanne D'arc 489 Sussex drive 1846-51, 1870-76 Five distinct but harmonious buildings, unified by a high mansard roof and a central entrance, were home to the Institut Jeanne D'arc, founded as a home for young women. Under the dynamic leadership of Dominican Sister Marie Thomas D'Aquin, the institute developed as a residence and school, eventually moving to the Revere House (475 Sussex Drive,c. 1875), previously a favorite spot for carousing shantymen. The NCC's 1980s rehabilitation was one of its more successful projects, though it was unable to fully develop the upper stories and they were sold as luxury apartments. To the rear of the building is the lovely Jeanne d'Arc Courtyard. Across Murray street, Tin house Court (between Clarence and Murray streets), named after the mounted tin façade that was salvaged from a nearby house by local artist, Art Price, is an intimate and enjoyable space. You can visit the NCC's International Pavilion (7 Clarence Street, csv Architects 2017), which features exhibits curated by guest countries. Across Sussex Drive, Reconciliation, the Peacekeeping Monument (Jack Harman sculptor, Richard Henriquez, Gregory Henriquez architects, Cornelia Hahn Oberlander landscape architect 1992) conveys the role of Canadian peacekeepers in the international conflicts since 1956. Cast in bronze, its three UN soldiers stand on a ridge watching over a war-torn town.

Au début, il sagit dune succursale du Foyer Notre-Dame, ouvert à Montréal en 1903, mais il sen détache le 1ermars 1913 et prend le nom d'Institut Jeanne d'Arc. Sœur Marie-Thomas d'Aquin fonde la congrégation des Sœurs de l'Institut Jeanne d'Arc d'Ottawa. Érigé canoniquement le 7 octobre 1919 par Mgr Charles H.Gauthier, archevêque d'Ottawa, l'Institut se voue à la protection des jeunes filles en offrant diverses formes d'aide, dont le cours commercial dispensé de 1920 à 1957. En Ontario, l'Institut Jeanne-d'Arc na œuvré qu'à Ottawa. [2]
