Algonquin Wayfinding Wheel by Simon Brascoupé at Cyrville Station, complete with trash blowing around.

We ventured to Cyrville Station today and found another of the Algonquin Wayfinding Wheels by Simon Brascoupé. This one is pretty well hidden along the adjoining bike path to the north and most train users won't see it. The trash blowing around is classical Ottawa.
