Ottawa city council is caught in a debate over Algonquin identity, but it didn t start with their approval of a new rural community pitched by the Algonquins of Ontario.(CBC)

The Algonquins of Ontario have purchased lands near Boundary Road and Highway 417 to develop with their partners Taggart. City council has voted to let the Tewin project move forward.(Jean Delisle/CBC)
City council has voted to let Ottawa grow by way of a whole new suburb in the rural south-east, and shot down a motion to give city staff more time to analyze the proposal and consult with all Indigenous groups.
The Tewin project proposed by the Algonquins of Ontario and Taggart Group infuriated chiefs of Quebec First Nations in the past week, after a joint committee backed by Mayor Jim Watson pointed to reconciliation as a reason to allow 445 hectares of land near Carlsbad Springs to be urbanized.
