I was also trying to discern exactly when. I think it's later in April because:

- the state of the snowpack. There were places I know were annoyingly still snow-affected quite late in April, but they are clear in this imagery.

- a previously vacant storefront that I know was used as a federal election campaign HQ looks like it was still in heavy use; election day was the 25th?

- the river is high, but I don't think any paths are flooded, so it's before peak water.

I was hoping for fall imagery this time, to see some river features that pop during low water.

I suspect the imagery was taken over several days, but mid-late April seems about right. A couple observations:

- Tunney’s Pasture parking is empty = weekend/holiday
- Costco at Blair has an empty parking lot = they typically are closed Easter Sunday, so April 20th
- Costco in Nepean has a full parking lot, so…different imaging date?
- the far east side of Jacques Cartier park is full of snow, though I do see several places with umbrellas and patio furniture set up, so the weather was getting warmer.

The Saturday of the Easter weekend was beautiful IIRC.
