Wednesday, December 11, 2019 - 19:00 to 21:00

This presentation will reprise John Zvonar’s presentation at Heritage Ottawa in 2010, which was entitled “Terra Incognita: Ottawa’s Unfamiliar Landscapes.”

More ‘familiar’ these days, the Garden of the Provinces and Territories will soon welcome a new neighbour in the form of the Victims of Communism Memorial. John will speak to the original story and the new addition to the broader ‘urban narrative’.

This seasonal event will be held at the special venue of Christ Church Cathedral, Great Hall.
We invite you to join us for refreshments.

The lecture is free and there is no need to pre-register.
