Television series on the history of Ottawa hosted by Bob Carl and Ken Dougan. This eighth and concluding program of the series looks and the early development of Ottawa South and Ottawa West. Archival footage and photographs contrast the present views of Gloucester Township, Billings Bridge, Dow's Lake, the Experimental Farm, and Britannia Bay. The recollections of Ernie Sabourin, Eddie Friel, Alexander Roger, Eva Taylor, and other early residents recall the names and events of Ottawa's origins and history. Names mentioned include Braddish Billings; Sir John Carling; John R. Booth; and the Smyth, Heron, and Walkley families. Exceptional footage includes a horse-drawn stage of the early 1900s; streetcars taking pleasure-seekers to Britannia Bay; the paddlesteamer G.B. Greene and riverboat Albert at Britannia; and the Civic Hospital when it was first built in the early 1900s. <30mn>
