Campeau in Rolling Meadows - Barrhaven When:  The price sheet that I have is from 1977, although Campeau built from the early 1970s to the early 1980s in the area. Where:  Located Southeast of Fallowfield Road and Greenbank Road. A few were also built as a part of the 1977 Parade of Homes: 1977 Parade of Homes post.

A number  of the houses were built via a partnership with Campeau and Macval as seen in this post on Campeau and Macval.   These plans in yellow were built sparingly in the area. Alas, my collection is incomplete as I am missing a number of plans, so if anyone has some not here, please share with me!
