Gloucester Quarries

Photo: Exploring the Quarry.

Between Montfort Hospital and the National Research Council on Montreal Road, there were once commercial quarries which have since been abandoned or filled in. This walk will show you the location of two quarries that gave rise to a thriving village with a school and post office. You will learn about this village and its importance to the growth of Ottawa.
