Join Heritage Ottawa for part three in our series of lectures on the Alexandra Bridge, this time presenting an ecological perspective on the future of the bridge with conservation architect and urbanist Mark Brandt, co-author of Building Resilience: Practical Guidelines for the Sustainable Rehabilitation of Buildings in Canada.
