Details from David Gladstone:
Folks, ... the following was agreed for our May 3rd event: we'll meet at Tache and St Joseph in Hull at 5:00 (or a bit later) and walk along the railway corridor to the north end of the Prince of Wales railway bridge where we'll firmly restate our long-standing insistence on the need for O-Train service into Gatineau across the bridge.
...
Then we'll walk along the pathway to the Chaudiere Bridge, cross it, and walk by the War Museum to get another view of our favourite railway bridge, and on to Christ Church Cathedral , where all are invited to show their support for my comments to the NCC.
