The Rideau Canal connects Ottawa on the Ottawa River to Kingston on Lake Ontario. It is 202 kilometres in length. The canal was opened in 1832 as a precaution in case of war with the United States. It remains in use today primarily for pleasure boating, with most of its original structures intact. It is the oldest continuously operated canal system in North America.

Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica, the largest and oldest church in Ottawa. Its construction started in 1841 according to a neo-classical plan by Antoine Robillard and Father John Francis Cannon. In 1844, after the lower section was finished, Father Pierre-Adrien Telmon, sent from France to finish the construction, decided to redesign the Church into a neo-gothic structure, finished in 1865. The interior decorations were designed by Georges Buillon and put in place between 1876 and 1885.
