- National Capital Greenbelt online, August 23, 2005(The Greenbelt is a 20,350 hectare band of open lands and forests surrounding the nation's Capital on the Ontario side of the Ottawa River; it was first proposed in 1950 by French planner Jacques Gréber as part of an overall plan to create a beautiful and distinctive setting for the national Capital; the Greenbelt was intended to protect the rural land bordering the Capital from the haphazard urban sprawl typical of so many other cities; acting on Gréber's plan, the federal government began acquiring land in 1956; today, the Greenbelt encircles the Capital from Shirleys Bay on the west to Green's Creek on the east; most of the total area, or 14,950 hectares, is owned and managed by the National Capital Commission; the rest is held by other federal departments and private interests)
