Our office supervised the running of competitions/judging/selection of art for public spaces in new City buildings, as well as building a collection of art for use in City offices. Prior to the amalgamation of the cities of Ottawa, Nepean, Gloucester, Vanier, Rockcliffe etc this program was managed originaly by the city archives under the city clerks offices, but then I believe by the parks and recreation offices of the City of Ottawa. Under the new city I do not know - but check out the attached link http://city.ottawa.on.ca/search?NS-search-page=document&NS-rel-doc-name=/cit y_services/culture/2_3_en.shtml&NS-query=art&NS-search-type=NS-boolean-query &NS-collection=English&NS-docs-found=53&NS-doc-number=1 you could also try this e-mail (I do not know if it still valid) [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> or go the the new city of Ottawa's web page at http://city.ottawa.on.ca/index_en.html I hope that this helps.
