Downtown Ottawa
Les écluses d'Ottawa sont au coeur du Centre Ville. Elles marquent le point de connection entre le canal Rideau et la rivière des Outaouais. En hiver, le canal Rideau gèle et 7.8 km sont entrenus par la Commission de la Capitale Nationale. C'est une des plus longues patinoires au monde.
The Ottawa locks are at the heart of the downtown core. They mark the point of connection between the Rideau Canal and the Ottawa River. In the winter, the Rideau Canal freezes over and 7.8 km of the Rideau Canal are managed by the National Capital Commission. It is one of the world's longest skating rinks.
