Canada 150 preparations closing in, construction won’t all be done in time
OTTAWA — It’s dusk on a warm summer evening in Ottawa.
As people emerge from a new light-rail station a block south of Parliament Hill, they look down the street to the west, to see a glowing glass tower.
They walk towards it, lured by an LED-screen projecting a live performance from a theatre on the other side of the country.
This is the final dream for the $110.5 million addition to the National Arts Centre, the single-largest, national legacy infrastructure project timed to help celebrate Canada 150.
