On the way home from Bone Scan #4, we stopped in Manotick, to check out their new park. It was just opened July 2, 2017. I'd spotted it on the way past, going into Ottawa. I could see the beautiful statue, and decided we should stop in on our way home. I used to live just outside Manotick, I taught there, as well, in Manotick P.S. (We did a big heritage day one year, and invited the press, hence the photo!)
Manotick P.S. 1993
Anyway, enough fond memories, back to the park. The land was donated, The Clapp Family barns, and used to hold a farm. It is just beside the iconic Manotick Mill, now a museum. As ever, there are lots of ducks hanging about around the mill.
6 custom gardens designed by local Horticulturalist and a Director of the Manotick Horticultural Society, Anne Clark-Stewart, that will honour branches of the Canadian military and those who support them:
Blimey!!! The video is amazing, and I guess after that they have to be cast in bronze, what a wonderful pair of statues, and there you are with them, love that photo. One talented man, who now is living a long way from Ontario.
Great to see you in the photos Jenn, and the one from your teaching days must be a special memory. This would be a lovey walk in surroundings like these. The sculpture is fantastic.
