I suspect that it's the same thing at that construction site.
In fact, some rock cuts are so weathered that contractors have to put rock bolts in.

Yes exactly. The further west you go more and more of the canadian shield peaks out the sedimentary units. The hill between bayshore and kanata was most likely an island when the Champlain sea was around.
