Lending a Helping Hand at the Manotick Public Library

I found another of the Lending a Helping Hand sculptures. Earlier I had posted about that sculpture at the library in Greely. The one in this posting stands outside the Manotick Library to the right of the main entrance. The Manotick Public Library stands on the east side of South River Drive about halfway between Bridge Street and South Island Park Drive in Manotick.

Bracken Field Plaque

Bracken Field is on Bridge Street in Manotick between North Riverside Drive and Long Island Road. The Bracken Field Plaque is on the southwest corner of the field.

BRACKEN FIELD

This playing field was donated to the
Carleton Board of Education in 1969 by the
family of John and Alice Bracken.
