I took today off from work to go plaque-hunting. It was -7C in Ottawa this morning and about -3C when I started out. Plaques were not as bountiful as I had hoped, but when I did find them they were plenty. Bronson Centre, previously Immaculata High School, had four cornerstones, one plaque and an art piece. On the same building were two different cornerstones with differing dates. I bet there is a story there. And I am going to find out what it is.
I have to say this method of research is a healthy one. Today I did over 13000 steps. Most days during our pandemic reality I haven’t managed more than 2000 without extreme effort and/or planning. Clear and bright skies coupled with a rather walkable temperature made for an uncomplicated and enjoyable fall afternoon out.
