Manotick (/ˈmænətɪk/ MAN-ə-tik[1]) is a community in Rideau-Jock Ward in the rural south part of the City of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

The saw mill, built by M. K. Dickinson, Esq., employed twelve men and turned out about two million feet of sawn lumber per annum.

[5] Open Doors Ottawa sometimes coincides with Dickinson Days, which is Manotick’s annual festival celebrating the Founder of the village.

[4] The original St. James Anglican Church was built of wood in a Norman style in 1876 on land donated by Moss Kent Dickinson.

The church was included with other architecturally interesting and historically-significant buildings in Doors Open Ottawa, held June 2 and 3, 2012.

The RPL evolved from Section 6 of the Operational Intelligence Centre (OIC/6) of the navy during World War II.

It originally occupied small huts on the Prescott Highway, which from 1944 to 1947 housed a naval high-frequency radio station, operating under the call sign CFF.

The station received and transmitted messages between Naval Service Headquarters, Allied Authorities, and ships at sea, and frequently intercepted enemy transmissions.

A name plate now marks the site, which is located south of the Central Experimental Farm's Arboretum in Ottawa, between the Rideau Canal and the Prescott Highway.

The number was later revised to 1400 in early 2008 through the Development Concept Plan process with the city of Ottawa and numerous public meetings and consultations with residents.

In the opinion of some local residents, the Minto proposal went against the spirit and letter of the pre-existing Manotick's Secondary Plan.

The Secondary Plan for the Village of Manotick was adopted by the City of Ottawa at amalgamation in 2001, providing for growth of only 250 houses by 2020.

[16] Minto appealed the council's decision, sending the matter to the Ontario Municipal Board ("OMB") in a seven-week hearing that ended in late January 2009.

The OMB overruled the Ottawa City Council in a "controversial" decision to approve Minto's plans.

[15] The City of Ottawa requested a Leave to Appeal the OMB decision, with a hearing that took place on June 25, 2009.

Ultimately, extensive cooperation between Minto and the community resulted in an approved plan for the development, and the construction now is long underway.
