Major Demolition

One of Ottawa's oldest football stadiums is being demolished to make way for a new downtown development that will include condos and more. Terry and I wandered over recently to watch. He was fascinated to see the roof over the grandstand being taken apart - and noticed people on it removing snow with a snowblower! (Not something I'd like to do...)














Next to the Rideau Canal, Landsdowne Park is a historic landmark. There has been a lot of community opposition to the plan - but change is inevitable...














The demolition and rebuilding will take years.














It was hard to imagine the scope of the project with everything covered in snow! We'll have to go back in a few months, once the snow is gone, and check on the progress.
