NEW for SundayBeauty and Integrity of the Ottawa River

Embark with me along the Ottawa River, the historically great Kitchissippi. A host of treasures are in store for those willing to walk the shoreline between Remic Rapids to the Ottawa Rowing Club nestled in the shadow of the MacDonald Cartier Bridge (for example, we will pass the site of John Ceprano's Balancing Rock sculptures). Between these landmarks lies a path generous with architectural icons, artistic enhancements, and sacred sites from all aspects of Canadian culture, framed always by sweeping landscapes of the river with imposing views of the Gatineau Hills. Join me for a tiny bit of history, a pinch of culture, and a walk suited to the celebration of spring and a spirit of humanity that respectfully flows from shore to shore.
