Hi -- A note to people arriving from out of town: If you arrive at the pond and don't see any swallows or people looking, continue along the road that runs between the river and the filtration plant. At the end of the road is a point overlooking the river. While a few stayed behind, the swallows left the pond in numbers after the 8:30 sighting, heading for the river which can be seen well from the point (Britannia Point).
Reposting directions from earlier posts: Directions: From 417 exit at Pinecrest and travel north to Carling Ave. Go east on Carling to Richmond Rd. turn left and next left on Poulin St. Follow north to Britannia Rd. turn right and follow to Cassels Rd.. Turn right and drive to Britannia Point. Good Luck!
