Welcome to Ogilvie Gate
Built in 1979, Ogilvie Gate I, Carleton Condominium Corporation #157, is a large condominium complex spanning 3 private streets - Elaine Drive, Stella Crescent and Dora Crescent. The 95 units are clad in a combination of vinyl, stucco, brick and aluminium siding.
Close to Parks
Our neighbours to the East, CCC 158 and CCC 179, form with CCC 157 a large condominium community of 250 units. We have a small playground within our grounds on Elaine Drive and we're also near Cummings Park, a larger playground with a splash pad and baseball diamond in summer and great outdoor rinks in winter.
Community that feels like home
Ogilvie Gate I is situated near main transit routes on Cummings Ave, Donald St and St. Laurent Boulevard, close to the Queensway and within walking distance to a variety of stores and restaurants, gas stations, health care centres and schools. We are just a few short blocks from the Aviation Parkway bike path, a lovely walk all year round.
World Class Heritage
Ottawa is Canada’s capital. Sitting on the Ottawa River, it has at its centre Parliament Hill, with grand Victorian architecture and museums such as the National Gallery of Canada, with noted collections of indigenous and other Canadian art. The park-lined Rideau Canal is filled with boats in summer and ice-skaters in winter.
E-Bike, E-Scooter, and EV Charging Safety Reminder
The Board of Directors would like to bring to your attention some important safety considerations regarding e-bikes, e-scooters, and electric vehicle (EV) charging within our community.
Riding Safety: Riders must travel at a safe, walking-pace speed on common element roadways and laneways. Children riding e-bikes, e-scooters, or similar devices must wear an appropriate helmet at all times. Riders should remain alert for vehicles, pedestrians, and other residents, particularly near intersections, driveways, and parking areas.
Battery and Charging Safety: Lithium-ion batteries carry a fire risk if damaged, improperly charged, or charged using non-approved equipment. Use only the charger and battery supplied or approved by the device manufacturer, avoid overloading electrical outlets, and look for a recognized certification mark (such as CSA, cUL, or cETL) when purchasing batteries or charging equipment.
Electric Vehicle Charging: Any EV charging must be approved by the Board, and there is an electrical cost of $45 a month.
The Board is currently reviewing these issues further and considering additional measures. In the meantime, all residents are asked to be mindful of these safety practices for the benefit of the entire community.
