We will meet in the lobby of the SITE building (near the room A0150), then leave at 5:00pm and walk together to the Museum along the Canal. It’s a nice 30 min walk to the Museum. We will explore the Museum from 5:30pm to about 7:00pm (you're free to stay later if you wish; it's open until 8:00pm). We will then head back to the SITE building back along the canal for some sunset views.
Bowling night at West Park Bowling

We have reserved the lanes from 6 pm to 9 pm, so please feel free to stop by whenever works best. Participants are invited for a post-bowling snack and drink at O’Connell’s Irish Pub, right down the road.
We will meet in the lobby of the SITE building (near the room A0150), then leave at 5:00pm and take the Ottawa LRT to the venue. The alley is a 10-minute walk from Tunney’s Pasture Station (terminus).
