To attend this session, registrants must meet in the Conference Lounge: Provinces & Confederation I Kreitmaker Experiential Learning Dispatch Hub + Foyer of the Westin Ottawa Hotel

The recently completed Flora Footbridge and Vimy Memorial Bridge provide important new connections across the Rideau Canal World Heritage Site at very different scales in two quite different Ottawa settings. The award-winning projects seek to introduce a contemporary aesthetic and invite new public space in a way that enhances the user experience and heritage context. Join DTAH Partner Mark Langridge, along with the structural engineer for each project, on a guided walk to learn more about these transformative projects.

This session is Level 2 (Lightly Active). Dress for weather conditions and wear comfortable clothing and footwear. Consider bringing a refillable water bottle and your camera.

Please note: Participants will gather and depart from the Kreitmaker Experiential Learning Dispatch Hub located in the Conference Lounge.
