They are going to put a zip line from near Parliament Hill, in Ottawa,

to Gatineau, Quebec across the river. Go Canada!!! I will not be partaking but the views there are stunning.

That's cool. My first thought was Nepean Point. Saviolo Dec 2019 #1

Never been to the astrolabe. The views on the zip line will be stunning. applegrove Dec 2019 #2

I'm sure there will be long lines. Good way to get tourists to the new development in Gatineau. applegrove Dec 2019 #4

I used to go up to the Astrolabe Theatre to watch the Canada Day fireworks, and when I was in high school drama, we used to go up there after our cast parties to do improv up on the stage there. This location is a little further down the river, but the views are still amazing, and I would definitely take a ride on this.
