Kanata Research Park Corporation (KRP) as the largest commercial property owner in the Kanata North area recognizes the need for a unified voice that will be focused on issues and concerns that will serve the interests of the Kanata North commercial property and business owners. Over the past 30 plus years, Kanata North has evolved into Ottawa’s most prominent employment area for innovation, high technology and knowledge based industries and businesses with local, national and global connections. Kanata North is unique in Ottawa, as well as provincially and nationally. KRP supports the concept of a BIA that recognizes Kanata North’s unique characteristics and concerns where the BIA would act as this area’s strong advocate at the City of Ottawa.
