Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lees Avenue is both a road and a neighbourhood in Ottawa, Canada. The area lies in the narrow stretch between the Rideau Canal and Rideau River south of Sandy Hill and the Queensway and is part of Old Ottawa East. The neighbourhood is dominated by five large apartment buildings, some of the largest in Ottawa. These buildings range from low cost to moderate cost and mostly house new immigrants, students and young professionals. The neighbourhood is similar to Toronto's St. James Town, but it is much smaller. Across the Rideau River to the east Hurdman is a more recently built such area. Originally the area was an industrial zone lying beside the train tracks. In the 1950s the tracks were removed and replaced by the Queensway. Industry also left the area and new towers began to be built. The Eastern Ontario Institute of Technology (later to merge with The Ontario Vocational Centre and renamed Algonquin College), opened its new Rideau Campus there in the 1950s. After being unused for a number of years, it was sold to the University of Ottawa in January 2007.
