Location
Route

We will meet on the front steps of Tabaret Hall (550 Cumberland). From there, we will work our way south through the heart of the campus along the Grand Alley, ending at the SITE Building (800 King Edward, on the west side of King Edward, just north of Mann Ave).

The route will follow pedestrian paths through the University of Ottawa Campus. We may occasionally go into some of the buildings. Note that any buildings we will visit will be fully accessible.
