The Rideau Canal is 126 miles long. It links Lake Ontario at Kingston and the Ottawa River. It was a significant place because it used to be a secure supply line between Upper and Lower Canada in case Americans cut trade along the St. Lawrence River. Now, it is a playground for kids to skate in the winter and for boaters in the summer.
The Canada Science and Technology Museum is Canada's largest science and technology museum. This museum is suitable for all ages and I get to discover some of the most important scientific objects in Canada.
