  • PETERBOROUGH is a few hours drive from Ottawa, but here Jeremy Ward is resident master of the art of canoe making in the traditional methods.

    " " It was in Peterborough that the wood plank canoe was developed, spawning many famous canoe factories, including the Peterborough Canoe Company, the Lakefield Canoe Company, the Rice Lake Canoe Company and the Canadian Canoe Company . Today, Peterborough is a focal point for this wealth of paddling history as well as a key access point to some of the best waterways, canoe routes, hiking, camping and parks in Ontario. " "

    I will be visiting the museum in the Summer

  • Mackenzie King Estate within the Gatineau Park ===,
    William Lyon Mackenzie King was Canada's 10th prime minister. During a career that spanned some fifty years — half of that as prime minister — King guided Canada along the path from semi-colonial status to complete autonomy.
    === although it is not fat away from downtown Ottawa, ones needs a car to get there, alternatively, a resident VT Friend.
    ===historically and architecturally interesting.
    good walks

     Hi Ken - Lovely tour of Ottawa w/you - your photo of fall is really great!
    Nemorino Wed May 6, 2009 21:03 UTC
     Good that Ottawa has so many biking routes, and a place to hire a bicycle near the Chateau Laurier Hotel. Also I think I would like the Canadian Canoe Museum, since I used to do a lot of canoeing when I was younger.
