		Charlotte Whitton put Ottawa in the history books when she became the first woman mayor of a Canadian city.
		Whitton’s first election to city council in 1951 was largely thanks to her amazing ability to harness the women’s vote or ‘the Petticoat Brigade’, as the local media dubbed it.
		Whitton served the city over five terms as mayor, from 1951-1956 and from 1961-1964.

		Whitton inventively portrayed family allowances as a policy that would encourage idleness and undermine the male-breadwinner ideal.
		Indeed, given the domination of the Canadian state by men, and their limited willingness to listen to women’s point of views, it is clear that Whitton got an audience not because of the lucidity and novelty of her arguments, but because she was, however unintentionally, a hack representing ruling-class views.
		For Christie, Whitton’s arguments this time were drowned out by arguments from other social workers, such as Leonard Marsh and Harry Cassidy, who launched paternalist arguments in favour of family allowances that negated her equally paternalist defence of the status quo.

		Moreover, Whitton did not see the rise of scientific truths in opposition to the sacred, but as a way to approach the wonders of nature.
		The traditions of social thought in which Carl Dawson and Charlotte Whitton placed themselves have been less studied than Livesay's and Urwick's, mainly because their principles, such as Whitton's belief in the virtues of community solidarity, are less thoroughly discussed in their own writings.
		But, as Moffat suggests, Whitton's objections to the detrimental impact of bureaucratic states on individual autonomy and resourcefulness referred to ideas of "rights and responsibilities" of citizens and of "stewardship" of professionals.

	Place de Ville - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The scheme faced several barriers, the most important of which was that for many years buildings in downtown Ottawa faced a 150 foot height restriction so the Peace Tower would dominate the skyline.
		Despite strong opposition from Ottawa mayor Charlotte Whitton, the rule was changed to allow the only somewhat taller Towers A and B to be constructed.
		That same year Campeau began lobbying to build the much taller Tower C. Originally hoping to build a 475 foot tower (which would have made it about 42 storeys) the city allowed it to only be 342 feet (29 storeys), but it still was, and remains, the tallest building in the city.
