HistoryThe neighbourhood was originally woods and farms. Before development, the area was referred to as Graham Bay or Graham Bay Station. At the southwest tip of Qualicum, the Bruce family owned the farm until the community's development in 1961. Today the farm is Bruce Farm Park. The community was built between 1961 and 1967. Originally, the area was divided into four sub-neighbourhoods, Bruce Farm, Qualicum Park, Graham Park and Bellands.[2] FeaturesMain streets in the neighbourhood are Queensline and Beaumaris. Graham Creek meanders through the neighbourhood. Starts at the Bruce Pit Quarry near Trend-Arlington and ends at Andrew Hayden Park at the Ottawa River. For schools there is Ecole Maimonides School (formerly Graham Park Public School) an private French school, Our Lady of Peace Catholic School in Bells Corners, Leslie Park ( now closed), Grant Alternative (formerly Christie Public School) (now closed), Knoxdale Public School and Greenbank Middle School (now closed). For high schools there is St. Paul's (formerly Sir John A. MacDonald High School), Franco Ouest, Sir Robert Borden and Bell High School (Ottawa). Maimondies was formerly Graham Park Public School. Graham Park operated from 1964 until 1988 due to a decline in population. The school was demolished in June 2011.
