The Rideau Canal

In June 2007, UNESCO designated the Rideau Canal, a landmark in Ottawa, a World Heritage Site, citing it as “the best preserved canal in North America from the great canal-building era of the early 19th century to remain operational along its original line with most of its original structures intact.“

So we did what Canadians do best in the summer: we celebrated.

Stunning photos! I especially liked Firework ones

It’s so good to know old structures/monuments are given their dues. I just simply love to see and cherish World Heritage Site Err Heritage Sites I am sure this would be one of those Gems. Great place!
