14 <strong>Glebe</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>April</strong> <strong>16</strong>, <strong>2010</strong> GLEBE HISTORY<br />
Thirty Years Ago in the <strong>Glebe</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
Vol. 8 No. 4, <strong>April</strong> 8, 1980 (24 pages)<br />
Ian<br />
McKercher<br />
The headline of the lead front-page<br />
article in <strong>April</strong>, 1980 read “ODAWA<br />
Friendship Centre - Indian Showcase.”<br />
The former Central Alliance<br />
Church at 600 Bank Street had been<br />
sold, and the new occupants hoped<br />
to turn the building into the Odawa<br />
Native Friendship Centre (ONFC),<br />
a showcase for native Canadian<br />
culture. The former location of the<br />
ONFC on Waller Street lacked the<br />
necessary facilities for exhibitions or<br />
recreational activities. Fundraising<br />
chairman Ernie McEwen said “Although<br />
overlooked for a long time,<br />
native peoples have a rich cultural<br />
heritage to share with Canada and<br />
the world.”<br />
Noel Starblanket, National Indian<br />
Brotherhood president, added that<br />
he knew of no Indian art on display<br />
in the National Gallery of Canada.<br />
“Indian art in Canada is relegated to<br />
the museums as artifacts or curios –<br />
in a city as vibrant as Ottawa this is<br />
not enough.”<br />
Mayor Marion Dewar presented<br />
a cheque for $3,000 to the National<br />
Native Centre fundraising campaign<br />
on behalf of the city.<br />
An article by B.J.R. Silberman<br />
drew attention to rapid changes in<br />
the Bank Street business community.<br />
At least five stores had closed recently,<br />
including McElroy’s Shoes, after<br />
70 years of service to <strong>Glebe</strong> patrons<br />
at 795 Bank (currently J.D. Adam).<br />
Also gone were Roche Bobois after<br />
5 years at 724 Bank (currently The<br />
Great <strong>Glebe</strong> Emporium), The Big<br />
Cheese after 5 years at 732 Bank<br />
(currently PomPom), <strong>Glebe</strong> Drug<br />
Store, after 19 years at 781 Bank,<br />
(now part of the Royal Oak), <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
Barber Shop after 46 years at 798<br />
Bank (currently Melz Kids’ Village)<br />
and Southpaw Cycles after 5 years<br />
at 857 Bank (currently Francesca’s<br />
Coffee Company).<br />
New businesses included Mammoth<br />
Burger at 683 Bank (currently<br />
the MVP Lounge), the House<br />
of Cheese at 793 Bank (currently<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> Side Kids), and Custom Muffler<br />
at 890 Bank (currently Mister<br />
Muffler).<br />
