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!)

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.
