I photographed the
Canal Workers Memorial and published the pictures on July 6, 2015. On August 13, 2017 the memorial was broken into four pieces. On April 29, 2018 a new one was installed. This was all in the news and the information is available on line. I revisited the memorial and photographed the new one. The Canal Workers Memorial stands to the northeast of the second lock gate of the Rideau Canal on the Trans Canada Trail.
