Canadian Facts and Trivia - THE PEOPLE AND THE HISTORY
The Rideau Canal, a 202-kilometre manmade waterway linking Ottawa with Kingston, was completed in 1832, when the War of 1812 would have still been within living memory.

Though a rerun of the war never came, the canal remains in use, and UNESCO says it’s the only North American canal built in that era to still be running. It is a World Heritage Site and popular recreational spot.
