Tewin: A Sustainable Community

Tewin is an exciting city-building project that will transform land in southeast Ottawa into a sustainable, connected and complete community founded on Algonquin values. The Algonquins of Ontario, along with the Taggart Family, are proud owners of much of this land. The community is currently in the early stages of the planning and development process, and over time is expected to become home to 35,000 to 45,000 people in diverse housing types. By championing a holistic approach to planning and design, the community will serve as a model for healthy, innovative, and integrated development, fulfilling a range of Ottawa’s strategic city-building and growth objectives. This future community is called Tewin (pronounced “Tay-Win”), which means “home.” .”
