Nicholas Sparks (politician)
Nicholas Sparks (1794–February 27, 1862) was an early landholder of Bytown, Upper Canada who owned most of the lands in the present day commercial core of Downtown Ottawa. Sparks was born in Darrah parish, County Wexford in Ireland and came to Canada in 1816. He was recruited by Ruggles Wright (or by other accounts Ruggles' brother Philemon Jr.) at age twenty-four to voyage to Canada as a labourer in the Wright family's logging and farming enterprises in the location of modern Gatineau. By 1819 he was traveling to Montreal and Quebec, purchasing supplies for Wright. On September 25, 1823, after saving his salary for several years, Sparks purchased 200(0.8 km²) acres of land - along with some food and chattels - on the south side of the Ottawa River.
Christ Church Cathedral (Ottawa)
Christ Church Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The church is located at 414 Sparks Street in the northwest section of the city's downtown at the western end of Sparks Street on top of a promontory looking down to the Ottawa River. From time immemorial, the Algonquin heartland has included the entire length of the Ottawa River, from its headwaters in north-central Quebec to its outlet near Montreal. The parish of Christ Church Bytown, now Christ Church Cathedral Ottawa, was established on unceded Algonquin territory that had been settled by European colonists. What follows is a summary of various highlights and milestones of the Cathedral's development in the post-settlement period.
