Meet at the Bytown Museum, next to the canal locks between Parliament Hill and the Chateau Laurier. From there, we will walk north to the Ottawa River, then back south along the Rideau Canal and up Canal Lane to Confederation Square. We'll move clockwise around the National War Memorial to end in front of the Langevin Block.
