The tour covers the history of labour in Ottawa, from pre-Contact all the way through to modern times. Highlights include the lumber trade, LeBreton Flats, the building of the Rideau Canal, and the construction of the Parliament Buildings. The tour weaves personal and community stories into the broader narrative of Ottawa’s changing character.
Beginning at the NAC near the Oscar Peterson statue, we'll walk along the Canal, to Parliament Hill (around the rear to see the Ottawa River) and back onto Wellington near Bank and O’Connor.
