Canada's
Rideau Canal hits 175th anniversary 07/02/07 The Rideau Canal was just named a United Nation’s
World Heritage Site. The canal joins a UNESCO list that includes the Statue of
Liberty, Machu Pichu and the Great Wall of China. Fear of war gave birth to the
canal. Today, it's a recreational waterway, still connecting Kingston to Montreal.
Ottawa correspondent Lucy Martin was in scenic Merrickville for one of the year’s
many 175th anniversary celebrations. | |  | |
