The quest

Skip the patio. Stand on public ground at Ottawa Locks for the end of the day, then walk out the way you came.

Steps

  1. Arrive at Ottawa Locks twenty minutes before sunset. Stay on public ground — not a bike lane, not a road deck.
  2. Watch until the disk is gone. Name three lights that stay on.
  3. Leave the way you came. Do not climb railings or cut through private docks.

Why this is on the board

Ottawa Locks is one of the spots north-east of centre, Ottawa where Ottawa actually faces the sky. You get the last colour of the day and a few minutes of standing still a patio will not sell you.

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