I found the Algonquin Wayfinding Wheel by Simon Brascoupé at Walkley Station today. This one is easy to find from the street at least. They all seem to be located near the train station entrances.

This is public art at Dow's Lake Station, artist and title unknown as the city has not published it. Most of the #train stations have artwork. This is a north pointing sculpture, with a moose and canoe motif. The associated trash is pure #Ottawa.

It’s been so long I had forgotten what it’s like. This city once had good transit and I miss it so much.
“But Leary's tenure in Toronto also faced controversy, with the Toronto Star reporting on a 2023 meeting behind closed doors where the TTC board reportedly agreed to investigate allegations of workplace misconduct against him.” Oof. #Ottawa #OCTranspo
