Kanata Lakes - Marchwood Lakeside - Morgan's Grant - Kanata Community Information

The Kanata Lakes area includes Marchwood Lakeside, Morgan’s Grant, and Kanata North Business Park and is bounded by the Ottawa Carleton Railroad-2nd Line-Old Carp-March Valley Roads on the north. To the south lies Highway 417-Terry Fox-Campeau-Knudson-Weslock-Steacie-March Roads. Herzberg Road is to the east and Huntmar Drive is to the west.

The Kanata Lakes area was first settled by Europeans in the early 1900s. One such settler was Hamnett Kirkes Pinhey, an English merchant, who settled the area known today as Pinhey’s Point. Once part of the Township of March, this area remained mostly agricultural until the 1960s when, like the rest of Kanata, certain sections were developed by Bill Teron. Other sections such as Morgan’s Grant have only recently begun to be developed. This neighbourhood also includes the Kanata North Business Park, which was referred to as Silicon Valley North during the high-tech boom of the 1990s.
