Shortly before 9am on Monday, I heard from someone who saw the deer on O’Connor street, headed to Lansdowne Park. I grabbed my bike and the video camera, and soon found the deer in the water near Pig Island in the canal.
The video (embedded below) picks up there; it’s nine minutes in length,
– or there is a shorter two-minute version on Twitter.
UPDATE: The video now starts with the short CBC News clip that featured some of the footage from the video, and then has the original full 9-minutes
The deer did eventually make it safely to land, in the Arboretum on the far shores of Dow’s Lake, but it’s not clear where it went after that.
UPDATE #2: See the Glebe Report article and photo by Randal Marlin – the ‘someone’ I mentioned above – about seeing the deer before it went into the canal. The article mentions the video I did, and also about the deer being spotted near the National Arts Centre and then running down Elgin, before making it to O’Connor and Lansdowne and the canal (disclaimer: it was from someone I know on Twitter that I learned about the NAC, and from a random reply on reddit that I learned about Elgin St – not from my website).

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the
video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you
could be giving us something enlightening to read?
