Victoria Island Remediation

5 years too late but since it will be going for another 2 or 3 here's the thread.

About the project

So, will the island continue to be disjointed (but newly detoxified) patches of greenspace that 3 people pass through every hour, a hydro plant, random ruins and inaccessible buildings, some tepees and random plaques and monuments... or are there plans to develop the island into a proper park and/or community eventually?

It's Ottawa so you can bet the latter

1. Turn it upside down, cut every single tree and bush
2. Declare it nationally significant greenspace and nature conservation site, so it must see minimal usage

The buildings closest to Zibi were in use. One was a climbing gym.

Was the entire island given to the Indigenous, or just the part east of Portage?

Here's a nice description of the project from someone on the ground:

Good read. So it's going to be pretty much the same as before when they finish, just cleaned up. Some day they will unveil a new plan. I'm hoping for Zibi 2.0 between the bridges and a park and/or indigenous museum on the Eastern end of the island.
