History

Beaverbook is the first and oldest residential neighbourhood in Kanata. The area was an agricultural part of March Township until the 1960s when developer and planner Bill Teron set about creating a planned Garden City community. The city centre didn't grow as he had originally planned, but eventually with its residences, hi-tech businesses and commercial services became the City of Kanata, founded in 1978. Beaverbrook is named after Sir Max Aitken, Lord Beaverbrook.
