In creating the plan for redevelopment of these lands, we have been mindful of the existing community context and how use of this land can be reimagined in a manner complementary to its neighbours, and offering new public amenities that residents will value. Learn more about what exists today.
Since filing our initial application in 2018, the Kanata Lakes partners have been working to provide new homes for families, high-quality public green spaces and a cohesive community network in Kanata.
Recent court decisions have ruled in favour of ClubLink allowing the development to proceed. In 2022, the Ontario Land Tribunal found that the development plan represents good land use planning consistent with the City of Ottawa Official Plan, is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood, and preserves roughly one-third of the site as open space, including parks and wooded areas. On September 18, 2025, the Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear the City’s appeal of the lower court ruling.
The partners involved in the development of Kanata Lakes are ClubLink along with local housing providers, Minto, and Richcraft.
It is our intention to dedicate more than 33 per cent of the property to high quality, public accessible green space – including new parks, trails, ponds, and landscaped buffers. The remainder of the property will be dedicated to the development of new homes that will integrate seamlessly with the surrounding community.
The Kanata Lakes redevelopment will see the construction of nearly 1500 homes for families, individuals and the community in the Ottawa region. We will provide a variety of housing types and forms that are compatible with the surrounding neighbourhoods to seamlessly integrate into the existing community. In addition to housing, functional and high-quality public green spaces will be available year-round for the public to enjoy.
