Ottawa is the capital of Canada. The city is
situated on the south bank of the Ottawa River, and contains the mouths of
the Rideau River and the Rideau Canal. The canal was
opened in 1832 as a precaution in case of war with the United States. It
remains in use today primarily for pleasure boating. It is the oldest continuously operated canal
system in North America, and in 2007 it was registered as a UNESCO World
Heritage Site.
