  • 2005 Rideau Canal World Heritage Site Management Plan
    2005 Foreword The Rideau Canal bears witness to 19th century engineering excellence, most notably through its ingenious adaptive design and brilliant execution. As well as being a technological feat, it provides an eloquent illustration of the defence measures taken by the British Empire in Canada in the early 1800s, which resulted in the transformation of Canada’s eastern Ontario hinterland into a transportation route whose integrity has, to this day, been maintained at an exceptionally high level. This linear serial nomination incorporates six elements that together will become the Rideau Canal World Heritage Site. These are: the Rideau Canal National Historic Site of Canada, Fort Henry National Historic Site of Canada, Fort Frederick, Cathcart Tower, Shoal Tower and Murney Tower (the Kingston Fortifications National Historic Site of Canada). This management plan specifies how the world heritage values of the nominated property will be protected for present and future generations. It constitutes the formal commitment of the Parks Canada Agency, the responsible Canadian management organization, to the conservation and protection of the property. It identifies the world heritage values that will be protected, the legislative and policy framework for management of the property, the elements of the management system in place to protect the property, and mechanisms for monitoring and periodic reporting. As a high-level, overarching management plan, this document unites the specific operational plans for the six elements by identifying and elaborating management commitments and actions that will result in an integrated approach to administering the world heritage site. I am very grateful to our dedicated team from Parks Canada, the World Heritage Site steering committee and to all of the local organizations and individuals who have demonstrated good will, hard work, spirit of cooperation and extraordinary sense of stewardship.

I asked if I could meet on the next day Thursday of Friday, which ever was most available. To date I have had no response. Attached is seven page documents considering the lots be associated as one for the examples identified. Regards. r "Rem" Burns Rural Residential Lot, #236 Background Information: This irregular shaped lot on the north side of the River Road and the lot on the south side of the River Road, in the Hamlet of Ivy Lea were both part of the one hundred acre operational farm owned and operated by my parents, J. Elmer and Vera Burns. This farm property started at the St. Lawrence River and ran north, across the River Road in Ivy Lea, beyond the now known Thousand Islands Parkway and ending at the Reynolds Road. The operational farm property included a farmhouse /summer kitchen, and numerous farm buildings, woodshed, machinery drive shed, barn, chicken coop, piggery and icehouse / storage building and granary. Livestock included beef and dairy cattle, horses, pigs, chickens and geese. At that point, in time, seventy years ago all this property was zoned Agricultural, as it was a working farm.. My father decided to sell the majority of the farm property in the early 1950's to Thomas and Ruby Cirtwell who owned a farm on Hill Island.

    Fort Wellington National Historic Site Guardian of the St. Lawrence Open May to Thanksgiving Weekend Strategically built along the St. Lawrence, Fort Wel- lington is now one of Canada’s best preserved British forts. Built in Prescott during the War of 1812, Fort Wellington de- fended the vital St. Lawrence shipping route. Although Fort Wellington was never attacked, it was the staging point for a successful raid on Ogdensburg in 1813 . The fort was later abandoned . Fort Wellington was again called into service in 1837 when Upper and Lower Canada rose up in rebellion. The fort be- Photos ©Fort Wellington came the main depot for the area’s militia and in 1838, mili- tia stationed at Fort Wellington were called into battle. Expecting to be seen as liberators, American rebels landed at nearby Windmill Point but were met by 2,000 British soldiers and militia instead. In 1923, Fort Wellington became a National Historic Site and is now operated by Parks Canada. The fort consists of earthworks surrounded by a palisade. Inside, you can stroll by the officers’ quarters, discover the coponniere tunnel, explore the three-storey blockhouse, and chat with the costumed interpretive guides. Children can make their visit an adventure by becoming Parks Canada Xplorers to discover this unique fort. The site also boasts a new visitors center featuring the wreck of an 1812 -era gunboat. Daily visits are self-guided and guided tours of the fort are offered every Saturday and Sunday throughout July and August beginning at 1:30pm. During the summer months, the fort offers summer camps for children and also hosts an annual Canada Day Celebration every July 1st from 10:00am to 4:00pm.

Before the advent of the railway or the construction of the Rideau canal the St. Lawrence river was the only direct means of communication between Quebec, Montreal, and the region now known as the province of Ontario, with the exception of the then far-away and still more precarious Ottawa. Many of the historic events that marked the contests of the British and French and the British and the United States troops for the possession of Canada were therefore enacted on the great river.
