Attached are two sets of images. These provide some update on locales that may be of interest. The project or location has been referred to previously on this site.

The images above are at the site of a project with the title – Memorial to the Victims of Communism – Canada a Land of Refuge. The project had shown some signs of breaking ground earlier in the summer, however, there has been little evidence of progress on the site since. The initial activity may have been related to some environmental or infrastructure investigations. There is now, as shown, a public image for the design. The large modern wooden sculpture, 12 Points in a Classical Balance / Douze points d’un équilibre classique, that was located nearby, has been removed.

The images above are from the west end of Chaudière Island and the adjacent Albert Island in the Ottawa River. This area, which has had substantial industrial activity, some that dates back two centurys, has been closed to the public for many years. A contemporary but unfinished park space has now been opened up here. With the park, the ‘falls’ and ring dam that is just northwest of Chaudière island, have new viewpoints.
The text on the plaque in the last photo reads; Fleck – Cowles, Hydrapulper, Manufactered by Alexander Fleck Limited, Ottawa, Canada
