Osgoode, called Osgoode Station until 1962, was originally part of Osgoode Township; it became part of Ottawa in 2001. The community was named for William Osgoode, the first Chief Justice of Upper Canada.[2]
Present day
Landmarks of the community include the Stuart Holmes Arena for ice hockey, the Osgoode Community Centre and its surrounding recreation facilities, the mall, and numerous shops.
The nearest airport is the Kars/Rideau Valley Air Park, about 5 kilometres (3 mi) away, on the other side of the Rideau River.[3]
In popular culture
In the 2020 American disaster film Greenland, starring Gerard Butler, several private planes leave from Osgoode to take refugees to Thule Air Base in Greenland.[4]
