 "name": "Embrun",
 "slug": "embrun",
 "summary": "Embrun is a village community in the Township of Russell, within the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, east of Ottawa. Its French-speaking settlement developed along the Castor River in the mid-1840s, with later growth linked to Highway 417 and municipal servicing. Everyday destinations include grocery stores on Notre-Dame Street and Village Street and local French-language schools. The paved New York Central Recreational Trail connects the village with Russell. By car, downtown Ottawa (Parliament Hill) is about 44.4 km away, roughly 39 minutes in free-flowing traffic (OSRM estimate).",

 "boundaries": "This guide focuses on Embrun village, whose core follows Notre-Dame Street. The Township maps the village settlement area's limits on Schedule A1; use that map for the edge of the planning area and individual properties. Definitions vary: the 2021 population centre used for the statistics below is a separate statistical geography.",

 "housing": "Embrun includes established streets of detached homes: a 2022 municipal planning report describes the area around Forget Street as a low-density neighbourhood made up mainly of single-detached dwellings. The current Official Plan also accommodates semi-detached homes, townhouses, duplexes and apartments. These sources describe an existing local example and permitted housing forms; an Embrun-wide construction-era or dwelling-type breakdown was not verified.",
