A number of dignitaries, including poets laureate George Elliott Clarke, Andrée Lacelle and Jamaal Jackson Rogers, were on hand at a ceremony Saturday as the final plaque of the Poets’ Pathway was put in place.

The Pathway, which has gradually grown for more than a decade, is a walking and biking trail of about 35 kilometres, running from Britannia Beach on a wandering path to Beechwood Cemetary, where the poets lie.

The final plaque honoured William Pittman Lett, Ottawa’s first city clerk, described by organizers as “a very busy man, an editor, a writer, and for decades a most important official and general organizer of the city.”

The stone was unveiled at the front door of the James Bartleman Archives, on Tallwood Drive, near the corner of Woodroffe Avenue.
