Beaverbrook, Ottawa

Beaverbrook is a suburban neighbourhood in Kanata North Ward in the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

The neighbourhood is bounded by the Kanata North Business Park to the north, March Road to the east, Campeau Drive to the south and Knudson Avenue & Weslock Way to the west.

The area was an agricultural part of March Township until the 1960s when developer and planner Bill Teron set about creating a planned Garden City community.

John Mlacak, who was the reeve of March Township from 1968 to 1976, helped lead the development of Kanata during the 1970s, 1980s and onward.

[2] The city centre didn't grow as he had originally planned, but eventually with its residences, hi-tech businesses, and commercial services, in 1978 it was incorporated as the new City of Kanata, which was named after the neighbourhood after a referendum.
