Rideau Canal Plaque

On the north side of Wellington Street overlooking the Rideau Canal, west of the Château Laurier stands a plaque commemoration the Rideau Canal.

RIDEAU CANAL NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE OF CANADA

The Rideau Canal, a great military engineering feat of the 19th century, opened central Canada to settlement and trade. The building of the canal also brough thousands of people to the area, helping to shape the community of Bytown — known today as Ottawa, Canada's capital.

The entrance locks mark the start of a 202-kilometre route linking the Ottawa River to Lake Ontario through a system of lakes and rivers. These are connected by the channels, locks and dams that the workers built. Designed for military purposes and completed in 1832, the canal was never used for defense. Today, it is an artery for recreational boating, a national historic site and a UNESCO World Heritage site owned and operated by Parks Canada.

LIEU HISTORIQUE NATIONAL DU CANADA DU CANAL-RIDEAU

Le Canal Rideau, un exploit, pour le génie militaire du 19e siècle, a ouvert le centre du Canada à la colonisation et au commerce. La construction du canal a aussi amené des milliers de personnes à s'installer dans la région, ce qui a contribué à l'éstablissement de Bytown, devenue Ottawa, la capitale du Canada.

La première écluse du canal Rideau marque le début d'une voie reliant la rivière des Outaouais au lac Ontario. La construction de chenaux, d'écluses et de barrages a rendu navigables les 202 kilomètres de ce réseau de rivières et de lacs. Conçu à des fins militaires e achevé en 1832, le canal Rideau n'a jamais servi à la défense. Aujourd'hui, il sert à la navigation de plaisance et constitue un site du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO exploité par Parcs Canada, qui en est aussi propriétaire.
