The flagship urban-development project of the NCC in the last several decades has been Confederation Boulevard-the Capital' s ceremonial and discovery route. In collaboration with federal and municipal partners, the NCC designed and constructed this 7. 5-kilometre route around the heart of Canada's Capital Region. Aside from providing an elegant streetscape for some of the most important sites and institutions of the nation, the Boulevard is a focus for year-round national celebrations, events and interpretation programs that help people to discover important aspects of Canada's government, culture, heritage, landscape and relations with other nations of the world. The idea for a ceremonial route in the heart of the Capital goes back to the 19th century. However, it was not until 1967-centennial year-that planners began to talk about a ceremonial route for processions and state visits, as a unifying element in the core areas of Ottawa, Ontario, and Hull(now Gatineau), Quebec, and as a vehicle for communicating the Capital of Canadians. Planning began in 1982 and construction in 1985. The central part of Confederation Boulevard was officially opened by Prime Minister Jean Chrétien on June 30, 2000. The last phase of three-phase construction will be completed in 2006. 1, record 1, English, - Confederation%20Boulevard

Parcours d'honneur et voie de la découverte de la capitale, le boulevard de la Confédération constitue, depuis plusieurs décennies, le projet vedette d'aménagement urbain de la CCN [Commission de la capitale nationale]. De concert avec des partenaires fédéraux et municipaux, la CCN a conçu et construit cette voie d'une longueur de 7,5 kilomètres en plein cœur de la région de la capitale du Canada. En plus de servir d'écrin élégant à certains des lieux et des institutions les plus importants du pays, le boulevard agit, pendant toute l'année, comme point de convergence pour des festivités, des manifestations et des programmes d'interprétation grâce auxquels les gens découvrent des aspects majeurs du gouvernement, de la culture, du patrimoine et du paysage du Canada et des relations de celui-ci avec les autres pays du monde. L'idée d'un parcours d'honneur au cœur de la capitale remonte au XIXe siècle. Ce n'est toutefois pas avant 1967, année du centenaire de la Confédération, que les urbanistes ont commencé à parler d'un parcours d'honneur qui accueillerait des défilés et des visites officielles, qui servirait de lien unissant les centres-villes d'Ottawa et de Hull (maintenant Gatineau) et qui ferait connaître la capitale à la population canadienne. La planification a commencé en 1982 et la construction, en 1985. La partie centrale du boulevard a été inaugurée officiellement par le premier ministre Jean Chrétien le 30 juin 2000. La dernière des trois phases de construction sera terminée en 2006. 1, record 1, French, - boulevard%20de%20la%20Conf%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration

Histoire : La région fut visitée par des Espagnols au XVIe siècle. En 1706, Juan de Ulibarri en prit possession pour l'Espagne. Les États-Unis acquirent la partie nord en 1803, et le reste de l'État provient de territoires mexicains et texans (1848-1850). Territoire (1861), puis 38e État de l'Union (1876), le Colorado se développa à la fin du XIXe siècle par suite de l'activité minière (or et argent) qui suscita l'immigration et le développement des chemins de fer. 4, record 2, French, - Colorado
