*** About the Rideau Canal and Parliament Hill: The Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stretches over 200 kilometers, linking Canada’s capital city of Ottawa to Lake Ontario and the Saint Lawrence River at Kingston. This historic waterway, completed in 1832, primarily serves as a preventive military measure during the strained relations between British North America and the United States of America. Today, it stands as a vibrant recreational corridor, bustling with boats in the summer and transforming into the world's largest skating rink in winter. Adjacent to it, Parliament Hill is not just the political hub of Canada but also a cultural treasure. The hill features three magnificent Gothic revival-style buildings, serving as the home of Canada's federal government. Here, public events, celebrations, and tours are frequent, inviting visitors to engage closely with the nation’s legislative processes.
