For our own election-week poll we found Ottawa locations where Xs are viewable from above. Heliports, helipads, call them what you will, there are about half a dozen such facilities with official IATA airport codes in the greater Ottawa-Gatineau area, serving hospitals, military facilities, and, in one case, an entertainment complex.

We’ll post the results at noon on Saturday.

UPDATE:

This one was clearly far too easy — 76% of you correctly identified it as the helipad of the Civic; our attempt at being clever and rotating the orientation fooled just about no one.

Thanks to all for playing; and don’t forget to take in a Jane’s Walk this weekend!
