Free wi-fi near the National War Memorial
14 Jul
Enjoying free wi-fi within view of Parliament Hill.
Visitors to Canada’s capital who still have a bit of work to catch up on — or who want to share their photos right away, or blog — now have a beautiful new setting to get it done!
The National Capital Commission has installed 20 bright red Muskoka chairs on a plaza just off the east side of Elgin Street where it meets Rideau Street. They’ve stretched some shade sails (from a local company called House of Canvas) across the top to provide a bit of shade. All in all, a beautiful spot — and the best part is, it offers free wi-fi!
So within view of the Fairmont Château Laurier, Rideau Canal, National Arts Centre, National War Memorial, Parliament Hill and steps from a Capital Bixi bike station, you can get caught up on your online life — for free!
The pilot project, based on an employee’s suggestion, runs till October 11, 2011. Check it out!
Not everybody using the chairs is surfing the web. Some are just having fun, enjoying the day, like these children!
