Each winter, the historic Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, becomes the Rideau Canal Skateway, the world's largest skating rink.
The Rideau Canal, a monumental early 19th-century construction covering 202 km of the Rideau and Cataraqui rivers from Ottawa south to Kingston Harbour on Lake Ontario, was built primarily for strategic military purposes at a time when Great Britain and the United States vied for control of the region. The site, one of the first canals to be designed specifically for steam-powered vessels, also features an ensemble of fortifications. It is the best-preserved example of a slackwater canal in North America, demonstrating the use of this European technology on a large scale. It is the only canal dating from the great North American canal-building era of the early 19th century to remain operational along its original line with most of its structures intact.

Located in the heart of the pedestrian village in Hull, this brewery was once a hot spot club named Le Bop. If you are lucky enough to remember your visit there, you’ll be surprised to see what they have done to their space. When we visit we get to try some of the stellar beers that they make. The Gainsbourg excels at IPAs and White beers, and you are sure to get one of them on the tour. Not far behind is the high ABV malty goodness of a Triple or Scotch Ale.
