Neighborhoods

Manotick is bounded by both Bankfield Road and Mitch Owens Road on the north, and the Rideau River on the south. The eastern border is described by Highway 416, Third Line, Roger Stevens, First Line, Phelan, Flag Station, and Dozois Roads. The western border is described by Third Line, Carsonby, and McCordick Roads. The neighbourhood includes the communities of Manotick Village, Long Island, Colony Heights, and Mahogany. Manotick takes its name from an Ojibwa word meaning ’island in the river’. The Manotick area was first settled during the 1830s by Moss Kent Dickinson (who also named the community) and Joseph Merrill Currier for the primary purposes of logging, milling, and trading following the construction of the Rideau Canal. However, as the commercial importance of the Rideau Canal declined so did the town’s commercial significance. Today residents continue to celebrate the town’s early regard with a one day festival every June. Source: Ottawa Neighbourhood Study website

North Gower - Kars was first settled in 1846 by Scotch and English settlers. Some of those original settlers’ descendants continue to live in the neighbourhood today. By 1866, the community was a post village of the township of North Gower situated on Stephens’ Creek, 6 miles from Osgoode Station on the Ottawa and Prescott Railway, and 22 miles from Ottawa. It was considered part of Rideau Township for many years prior to its amalgamation with the City of Ottawa in 2001. The neighbourhood of North Gower – Kars is now an official Village within the amalgamated City of Ottawa and includes the communities of North Gower, Kars, Mills Corners, Goodstown, and Carsonby.

This neighbourhood includes the villages of Richmond and Munster and the communities of Dwyer Hill and Twin Elms. The village of Richmond was settled by United Loyalists after the War of 1812, was founded in 1818, and spans the Jock River, a tributary of the Rideau River. A military post for some years, the village derives its name from the Duke of Richmond, then Governor General of Canada, who is reputed to have died here in 1819 from the bite of a pet fox in a frame barn on Chapman’s farm, about 2 miles from the village, on the Goodwood River (now, the Jock River). Richmond was incorporated as a village on the Goodwood River in the east corner of the township of Goulbourne, 21 miles from Ottawa City and 11 miles from the Ottawa river in 1850. For a number of years trade and business was very active, but by 1860s appears to have declined. It was annexed by Goulbourn Township in 1974. In 1969, Richmond became part of Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton and in 2001 was recognized as one of the rural villages within the amalgamated City of Ottawa. The village of Munster is named after the province of Munster, in Ireland and was home to the Anglican parish church of St. Stephens, which closed in the 1960s. At that time, Munster was a simple cross-roads village of a handful of houses, but in the 1970s a rural suburb, marketed as “Munster Hamlet”, added about 400 houses to the community. The community was built in four quadrants. The church was then re-opened as the Munster branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Munster has a restaurant, United Church, Loyal Orange Lodge # 917 (warrant issued in 1875) and is the site of Saunders Farm, which has outdoor mazes and a Halloween theme park.

Kars is a village on the Rideau River within the rural section of the city of Ottawa, Ontario. Prior to joining the city in 2000 it was part of Rideau Township. Kars was originally named Wellington Village. In 1857, to distinguish it from another settlement called Wellington in Prince Edward County because mail intended for one often went to the other, the village was renamed Kars - a name chosen to commemorate the Canadian-born General William Fenwick Williams who had undertaken in the siege of the town of Kars for the Ottoman Empire against the Russian Empire.[1] By 1866, Kars was a post village with a population of 200 of the township of North Gower, on the Rideau River, one mile from the line of the Ottawa and Prescott Railway. It contained four general stores, and one steam sawmill, established by A. J. Eastman, in 1852, which had the capacity of turning out three millions feet of sawed lumber per annum; a brewery owned by A. J. Eastman & Co., with a capacity of turning out forty barrels per week; a tannery, two wagon shops, a cooperage, a school, a hotel; two churches-the Church of England, frame, erected by John Eastman, Esq, and presented to the Church Society; and the Wesleyan Methodist church, frame. Mails tri-weekly. The Loyal Orange Lodge, No. 520, met in the Orange Hall, on the first Tuesday in each month. [2] The Rideau River is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Rideau Canal. Kars is along the longest uninterrupted section of the River between locks at Long Island in Manotick and Burritt's Rapids. As a small community, most residents work in the city of Ottawa. But the village has an automotive garage and formerly had a general store/post office which permanently closed January 1st, 2018. The village had two schools until 2011. However, in that year, a decision was made to demolish Kars Public School in favor of an expansion of Rideau Valley Middle School. The enlarged school renamed Kars on the Rideau Public School is located on nearly 12 acres of land and its nearby soccer fields are among the best kept in all of Ottawa. Kars no longer has a summer fair, but a dog show has continued to run at the former fairgrounds site. Rideau Valley Air Park is located to the south of the village and is the base of operations for the Rideau Valley Soaring School. Source: Ottawa Neighbourhood Study website

Prescott, Ontario is a small town on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River in the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, Canada. In 2016, the town had a population of 3965. The Ogdensburg–Prescott International Bridge, 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of Prescott at Johnstown, connects the town with Ogdensburg, New York. The town is about an hour from both Ottawa and Kingston. The town was founded in the early 19th century by Edward Jessup, a Loyalist soldier during the American Revolution, who named the village after a former Governor-in-Chief, Robert Prescott. Prior to 1834, the town was a part of Augusta township; however, in that year the town became a police village, and severed its ties with Augusta.[2] The land here was ideal for settlement during the 18th and 19th centuries as it was situated between Montreal and Kingston along the St. Lawrence River at the head of the rapids.

Just a 25 minute drive. Jabulani is a Zulu word meaning happiness or rejoice and so this is the place of happiness. It was what Tom said he was feeling as we walked the property before buying it in 2006. When we bought it, it was just a fallow field – nothing on it – but we fell in love with it all the same. Tom had been making wine since he was a teenager back in Africa and we knew we would always be making wine, just never dreamed it would be from our own grapes! Tom has used methods that he learned while visiting the wine regions of the Cape Province of South Africa near to where his grandfather lived. This seems to have given our wines a unique flavour that is favoured by our customers and wine judges alike. To date we have thirteen international awards and four All Canadian Championship awards, including a Double Gold for our Marquette Chete 2015, and intend on continuing to enter competitions to prove that Canadians can make world class wines. We started planting vines in the spring of 2007 and our first harvest was in 2010. Jabulani opened its doors in 2011. It was a small venue at that time – a tasting patio with five barrels as tables and the store was run out of the bottom portion of our home. Today we have eight different varieties of cold climate vines numbering just over 11,000 on 11 acres of the farm. We have expanded the winery to include a separate building from our home and it is there that we not only make our award winning wines but where we also host events such as weddings. There are three favourite locations on our farm where couples have chosen to have their ceremonies; by the pond behind our home, within the old orchard and the most popular has been in our crush pad. The winery can accommodate events of up to 200 people indoors and 100 people outside at our tasting patio. Source: Jabulani Vineyard and Winery website
