Rideau Hall and 24 Sussex Now Connected to The Great Trail

On June 16^th, the celebration to mark this connection was held in the new headquarters of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS) at 50 Sussex Drive. National, provincial and local dignitaries gathered to recognize the importance of the addition of this newest section of the Trail.
