The quest
A two-minute stop at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. One date off the metal. Then back to the sidewalk.
Steps
- Stand on public ground at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
- Read the plaque. Copy one date and one name.
- 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.
