On Monday October 29th, 2012, come out and watch the demolition of the derelict buildings at the corner of Rideau and Charlotte Streets in order to make way for the temporary park. The activities will start after 7 a.m., although the duration to conduct the demolition and ground grading is unknown.
Dès que le 29 octobre, sortir et regarder la démolition des bâtiments délabrés au coin des rues Rideau et Charlotte. Ils seront remplacés par un parc intérim. Les activités démarrera après 7h00. Nous ne sommes pas certain combien de temps le classement de démolition et la terre aura lieux.
