The GlebeThe Glebe is a unique neighbourhood in Ottawa. It is located just south of Ottawa's downtown area, it is it’s own ‘downtown’ with wonderful shops, restaurants, and coffee houses populating the main circuit of Bank Street running all the way into Old Ottawa South with its northern border being the Queensway highway. To the south and east it is bounded by the Rideau Canal while to the west it ends just beyond Bronson Avenue. As of 2001 the area's population was 11,369. The Glebe is very popular. The area is mostly populated by families, and as such has a broad base of community services. The resident’s Association in The Glebe is very active and very little change happens without the local resident’s careful consideration of the overall impact of any decision. The area is called "The Glebe" because in the initial 1837 survey of Ottawa the area was allocated to St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. The word "glebe" means church lands and the area was originally known as "the glebe lands of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church". When the area was opened for development in 1870, real estate agents began to refer to it simply as "The Glebe". The stretch of Bank Street that runs through the Glebe is one of Ottawa's premier shopping areas with many small stores and restaurants offering a wide variety of services. The Glebe is home to Lansdowne Park which contains Frank Clair Stadium where Ottawa's CFL football team, the Ottawa Renegades, and the University of Ottawa Gee Gees play their home games, as well as the Ottawa Civic Centre, the permanent home of the Ottawa 67's. The area that became the park was purchased from local farmers in 1868 by the City of Ottawa Agricultural Society. From the canal two bodies of water jut into the Glebe: Patterson Creek and Brown's Inlet. These areas are surrounded by parks and some of the city's most expensive homes. The last Saturday in May of each year brings the "Great Glebe Garage Sale" to the neighbourhood; every household that participates puts items out for sale, attracting a large contingent of bargain hunters to the area. Sellers are expected to donate a portion of the proceeds to a designated charity.
