About Qualicum-Graham Park
Qualicum-Graham Park was developed in the 1960s on land that had been woods and farms, previously known as Graham Bay or Graham Bay Station. The Bruce family owned the farm at the southwest tip until development began in 1961; their land is now Bruce Farm Park.
The neighbourhood was named after Qualicum Beach in British Columbia, and streets follow the BC theme with names from Aboriginal peoples and BC towns. Many residences are executive homes on generous 100x100 foot lots. Qualicum Street features notable custom houses built by Bill Teron, a pioneering Ottawa developer.
Queensway Carleton Hospital opened in 1976 on former Bruce farmland, becoming a major community institution. Graham Creek meanders through the neighbourhood from Bruce Pit Quarry to Andrew Haydon Park on the Ottawa River.
