    Rideau Canal national historic site of canada Management Plan Copyright Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, as represented by the Chief Executive Officer of Parks Canada, 2005 Government of Canada Catalogue No. R64-257/2005E ISBN: 0-662-33356-X Aussi disponible en français Rideau Canal national historic site of canada Management Plan May 2005 Lt. Col. John By, Royal Engineers; Royal Engineers Museum of Military Engineering Gillingham, U.K. If ever a man deserved to be immortalized in this utilitarian age, it was Lieutenant Colonel By. In an unexplored part of the country, where the only mode of progress was the frail Indian canoe, with a department to be organized, workmen to be instructed and many difficulties to overcome, he constructed a truly remarkable work. (Captain Richard Bonnycastle of the Royal Engineers, London, 1842) RIDEAU CANAL NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE OF CANADA Management Plan Foreword Canada’s national historic sites, national parks and national marine conservation areas represent the soul of our country. They are a central part of who we are and what we are. They are places of beauty and wonder and heritage. Each tells its own story. Together, they connect Canadians to our roots, to our future and to each other. We see a future in which each of the national historic sites of Canada, whether federally owned or not, enjoys sound commemorative health, and in which our system of sites evolves as our country evolves. Our national historic sites will be places for all Canadians to experience and learn from. They will help our communities to be vibrant and creative, and contribute to our efforts to revitalize Canada’s cities.

  • The Riverwatch Handbook a Field Guide for Ottawa Riverkeeper’S Riverwatchers
    The Riverwatch Handbook A field guide for Ottawa Riverkeeper’s Riverwatchers Ottawa Riverkeeper - Published 2015 613.321.1120 • 1-888-9KEEPER www.ottawariverkeeper.ca • @ottriverkeeper www.facebook.com/ottawa.riverkeeper This field guide is designed to help riverwatchers 1) identify aquatic phenomena and environmental concerns, 2) collect the information needed to report their observations, and 3) connect with the proper agencies and organizations with these questions and concerns. Riverwatchers should consider potential sources and causes of observed phenomena. In a river system, causes can come from activities on land (e.g. deforestation, development/construction), areas upstream, and be the result of events that have happened recently (e.g. water releases from dams, heavy rains and wind). 1. Aquatic Phenomena 1.1 Water Colour Brown Tea Colour: dissolved organic matter (i.e. decaying plant matter), algae growth, and minerals such as iron.
