Lebreton Flats: Past, present & future.

We'll meet on the plaza in front of the War Museum. From there, we'll walk past the Holocaust Memorial (NE corner of Eddy Street and the Parkway), cross the Parkway, past the FireFighters Memorial, south on Lett St. along the front of the condo row, to the Booth Street Bridge, west on south side of Parkway, cross over at edge of War Museum, along the back of the Museum past the Chaudière Falls, and back to our starting point.
