The Nepean Sportsplex and Confederation Education Centre are on the Greenbelt. "The Greenbelt is like an 'Emerald Necklace' and exists as a memorial to the Canadians who gave their lives in the Second World War. Starting at Shirley's Bay just north of Kanata, it circles through Stony Swamp and Pinhey Forest and then continues east through the experimental farm where it arcs back northward through Mer Bleue and then follows Green's Creek to the Ottawa River. The Greenbelt reaches a distance of 45 kilometers and ranges in width from from two to 10 kilometers." (NCC-Have your say about the Greenbelt's future! 2009.)
The Nepean Sportsplex and the former Confederation High School are part of the National Interest Land Mass. "The National Interest Land Mass consists of 'National Shrines, the river and canal banks, the Confederation Boulevard, the Gatineau Park and the Greenbelt in the National Capital Region considered essential to the realization of Vision of the Capital...Land forming part of the NILM will be retained by the NCC on behalf of the government in perpetuity for purposes which lie at the core of the NCC's mandate; and will be managed by the NCC with little or no further management by the Treasury Board Secretariat." 1988.
