In its April 2007 number, enRoute magazine named Hintonburg one of the top ten emerging neighbourhoods in Canada. The same month, Ottawa Magazine said Hintonburg is "hot" and credits our QUAD arts district as the reason residents think we're "cool". Then in June 2007, the Financial Times of London noted that the 'Burg is "thriving again" and the Ottawa Citizen, in a March 2008 editorial, declared "The changing nature of the neighbourhood is fascinating to watch... There is a hip, urban edge." So come explore the living or arts or business opportunities in Hintonburg -- you're sure to get a warm welcome.

Elsa is a little Icelandic girl with a giant imagination. Newly arrived in Edinburgh, she becomes a Viking warrior in a fierce battle of playground politics. Caught between two cultures, the irrepressible Elsa must choose between her desperate desire to fit in and the value of true loyalty. This hilarious and big-hearted protrait of Scotland in the 1950s is guaranteed to both enteratain and strike a chord with adults of all ages.

Attika development proposal 
(Visit the full HCA Attika information site here.) Since June, there has been little to no news of the proposed 36-storey tower development next to Parkdale Park, and it is the HCA Board's assumption that the project will not move forward. We will continue to monitor developments.
