*City of Ottawa - Notice of Street Name Corrections – Effective 
immediately*

**

The Director of Building Code Services, under delegated authority 
granted by By-law 2014-78, approved corrections to the spelling of 
five street names. These names were missing accents, articles or 
hyphens or had incorrect capitalization. These changes are part of the 
City’s Street Name Verification Project, one of the post-amalgamation 
initiatives to resolve street name anomalies.

Please make the necessary changes to your records to reflect the 
corrected street names as they appear in the table below, in 
accordance with the language format used.
