Morgan's Grant (pop. 8,000) is a suburban neighbourhood located in Kanata, north of the Kanata North Business Park. It is found west of March Road, and north of Terry Fox Drive. Extensive developments are underway here, for this small section of Ottawa is relatively new.

Morgan's Grant has several recreational pathways, a number of playgrounds, a public elementary school, a French public elementary school, and a variety of services. The shopping plaza features a corner store, walk-in clinic, dental office, and a selection of restaurants. A plaza containing a Shopper's Drug Mart, a TD Canada Trust, a LCBO, a restaurant and a grocery store is currently undergoing development.

History

The modern Morgan's Grant was originally part of the Township of March, and was first settled by Europeans in the early nineteenth century. Development of the area began in the late 1980s with homes around the main streets of Morgan's Grant Way, Allenby Road, Halton Terrace and Flamborough Way, leading up to Terry Fox Drive and Monk Environmental Park. Starting in the mid to late 1990s, expansion began by Minto Developments to the north and has since reached up to Old Carp Road.
