New Edinburgh is one of the city’s best preserved neighbourhoods, a place where Queen Victoria never really died and the odd house still passes for a castle.

So the news — about the giant hole in its heart — has struck hard.

As part of the “Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel,” the City of Ottawa is planning to dig a massive shaft on the edge of venerable Stanley Park — named for a governor general — a hole as wide as a house (13 metres) and as deep as a six-storey building (20 metres).
