To mark Ottawa’s 200th anniversary, the Centretown BUZZ community newspaper has commissioned Jack Hanna to pen an eight-part series reflecting back on the history of our city.
Jack Hanna is a retired teacher and journalist, amateur historian, and heritage chair of the Centretown Community Association.
As a (non-Indigenous) Centretown resident, Jack Hanna reflects on the devastation caused to the Algonquin Anishinaabe people following the establishment of Bytown.
Jack continues his look at local history by examining the threat posed by Americans over the years.
