 A group of homes in Barrhaven Barrhaven is a rapidly growing suburban area located in the southwest corner of the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, about 20 km (12 miles) southwest of downtown Ottawa.

History
 One of the older parts of Barrhaven on Larkin The Barrhaven area was long inhabited by First Nations peoples, and the modern Jockvale Road follows an ancient path that was originally a trail through the wilderness. In the 19th century the area became populated by European farmers as the area was divided into a number of rural homesteads. In 1911, the Canadian Northern Railway built a rail line from Ottawa to Toronto through the area, but no train station was built to serve the community until the late 1990s.

Modern Barrhaven was established in the 1960s, one of a group of new suburbs built across the Greenbelt from the main city of Ottawa. Building in the area was begun by Mel Barr, for whom the community is named. Barr had originally purchased a 200 acre farm intending to construct a horse racing track. However the Rideau Carleton Raceway was built further to the east, and Barr instead decided to build a new suburban subdivision. The 1960s decade refers to the years from January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1969, inclusive. ...
It grew rapidly into a community housing several tens of thousands of people. Commercial centres were slower to arrive. In 1990 the area was served by a single grocery store, had no movie theatre, and not even a bar. Recently this has changed with the vast Barrhaven Town Centre complex of big box stores and smaller commercial establishments, as well as a few smaller shopping malls. The 1990s also saw a rapid influx of high-tech companies into the area (such as JDS Uniphase and Nortel), and the growth of the Public Service in the National Capital Region. The area also got its own high school in 1999 when John McCrae Secondary School opened. This is a list of movie theatres that have existed in the Ottawa & Gatineau, Canada region. ...

Character
 The newer Davidson Heights part of Barrhaven Since Barrhaven has been built so quickly and so recently, like most North American suburbs, it has a very uniform feel considering how big it is. Almost every street consists of fairly large late 20th century style suburban houses. In the older parts of Barrhaven, the streets wind and turn, never forming a grid as they do in older parts of Ottawa. Flooded with Catholic and public schools, Barrhaven also has an extremely nice landscape, featuring many public parks and playgrounds that have been built within the last few years. It is also home of the Walter Baker Sports Centre, which contains a wide array of facilities, including a library.

Transportation Barrhaven is served by four local bus routes, routes 170, 173, 176 and 186, and five express bus routes, routes 70, 71, 73, 76, and 77. These routes go in a general loop, turning on various local streets on their way to and from the nearby Fallowfield Station, and because of Barrhaven's seemingly random design it has caused much confusion with the local bus routes. The 186 runs from the Fallowfield Station to Manotick, stopping in the growing Stonebridge community before travelling on the lower half of Jockvale before hitting Prince of Wales Drive. The express bus routes follow roughly the same path as their local route equivalents, however also travel down the transitway and end at Hurdman Station. OC Transpo is a public transit authority that operates about 250 bus routes in the Ottawa-Gatineau region of Canada. ...
