Features
Kanata Lakes' main street is Kanata Avenue, which runs over the Queensway into the neighbourhoods of Katimavik-Hazeldean and Glen Cairn where it becomes Castlefrank Road. Kanata Avenue has four major side roads: Knudson Drive, Walden Drive, Goldridge Drive, Goulbourn Forced Road and Campeau Drive.
History
The area that is today Kanata Lakes was originally part of the Township of March, and was first settled by Europeans in the early nineteenth century. One site dating from this era is Pinhey's Point. It remained mainly agricultural until the 1960s when it became the site of heavy development. Modern Kanata is largely the creation of Bill Teron, a developer and urban planner who purchased 4,000 acres (16 km2) of rural land and set about building a model community: "A Garden City". The lands around the Kanata Lakes Golf & Country Club formed the initial core of Kanata Lakes when it was developed years later.
Currently the KNL consortium, consisting of Urbandale and Richcraft, as well as Uniform and Cardel, are clear-cutting two square kilometres of the Beaver Pond Forest to facilitate further development of Kanata Lakes.
