The quest

A two-minute stop at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. One date off the metal. Then back to the sidewalk.

Steps

  1. Stand on public ground at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
  2. Read the plaque. Copy one date and one name.
  3. Leave. Do not climb it.

Why this is on the board

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (north-east of centre, Ottawa) is how this part of Ottawa remembers something. You get one date and one name — a piece of the street that does not show up in a listicle. Mapped under “Canadian Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.”

Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
