“Centertown, for us, brings back all kinds of memories, both good and bad. Some of our highest highs in the neighbourhood. Some low lows as well, but I think one thing about the area is just it’s always going through change, just as we are. And I think that’s what’s kind of interesting about it.

And, I mean, we have to fact check it, but Max, I’m pretty sure your grandfather used to own the movie theatre that was the Hartmans there.

Yeah, I’ve been buying art supplies at Wallack’s since I was like 10 years old. The old Fall Down Gallery was there, where we had the very first Herd magazine launch party.
And, you know, Barrymore’s musical is some of the best concerts I’ve ever seen there”. @joeyarsen

Centretown would like to acknowledge that Ottawa is built on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation.

The Anishinaabe Algonquin peoples have lived on this land since time immemorial. We recognize and deeply appreciate their historic connection to this place. We also recognize the contributions of Métis, Inuit, and other Indigenous peoples have made, both in shaping and strengthening this community in particular, and our province and country as a whole.
