Fantastic tour. It amazes me how unceremoniously the canal comes to an end, given its historic and cultural significance.

Yep, LeBreton development has finally started. The plans don't look bad from what I've seen. It sure will be a change for the area..
By the way, I've always had a soft spot for NDHQ.

It is nice to see something happening on LeBreton Flats. So many false starts over the years. And this shot reminds me of what a fantastic building the Canadian War Museum is.
