A Tale of Two Bridges – Jack Yates

Discover the fascinating stories of two iconic bridges—the Quebec Bridge and the Niagara Gorge Bridge—and the lessons they teach us about connection and collaboration. ​ The Quebec Bridge, once the world’s longest cantilever bridge, faced tragedy during its construction but was rebuilt to stand strong over the St. Lawrence River. ​ Meanwhile, the Niagara Gorge Bridge, one of the first major suspension bridges, overcame seemingly impossible challenges with ingenuity, including a kite-flying contest to establish its foundational cable. ​ These engineering marvels highlight the importance of building bridges from both sides, a metaphor for fostering connections in our communities. ​ Just as these bridges required teamwork, creativity, and persistence, so too does the work of bridging gaps between people. ​ Dive into this inspiring tale of innovation and teamwork, and learn how small actions—like flying a kite—can lead to monumental achievements. ​
