Footnote: Environmental Funding External to Membership Dues All dollars for environmental staff, programs, research and overhead is covered outside membership revenues in three ways: 1. Voluntary donations through Rideau Lakes Environmental Foundation (RLEF) 2. Support from 18 other partner organizations through Rideau Lakes Environment and Information Centre (RLEIC) 3. A wide range of grants and subsidies from a variety of government and private sources, all of which are designated for specific environmental programs These programs enhance the value of the whole lake and its watershed, as well as protect the various investments of all lake users. Other Outside Support for Social and Recreational Activities Beyond membership dues and within the framework of approved externally funded programs, BRLA this year has facilitated: Staff support for necessary administration of Cow Island and the fireworks. A variety of recreational interpretation programs for all ages at eight different locations around the lake. Social and recreational components at such special events as BioBlitz; Discover Boating; Rideau Ferry Day; and Sun, Sand, Wind and Water Fair. Strict Accountability We should appreciate the necessity to follow strict accounting and accountability for all external funding. All expenditures must be con- sistent with the purpose for which they were granted. Last year, for example, all the renovations at Dry Dock, which were designed to facil- itate the implementation of environmental programs, came from the designated building reserve fund for 30 Colborne St. This fund was built up over five years from voluntary donations through RLEF. 3 Littoral (Shoreline) Inventory Update by Chris Benton July marked the end of the first tion of fish species and mapping of landowners.

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.

  • Village of Westport
    Village of Westport www.villageofwestport.ca There is always something happening in Westport. This scenic village is called "The Heart of Rideau Lakes" because of its location at the west end of Upper Rideau Lake at the head of the navigable Rideau Canal system. It has a public wharf on a man- made island with dock space for up to 30 vessels. The harbour also has a picnic area. Fishing is particularly good here because the lakes benefit from fish-rearing ponds established by the provincial government almost half a century ago. While fishing is not allowed in the rearing ponds, anglers can try their luck on either Upper Rideau Lake, Westport Lake, Sand Lake or several other smaller bodies of water. This is a vacation paradise for boaters, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Westport is known for its scenic downtown core and its many shopping opportunities. You'll find a variety of shops displaying crafts, arts, jewelry, furnishing and much more. Accommodations are plentiful with numerous cottages, lodges and campgrounds. For a spectacular view of the Westport basin, hike up to Spy Rock on Foley Mountain.
