Annual survey from Safe Quiet Lakes organization.
A lot of interest from Ottawa residents using the downtown section of the canal for paddling and swimming, now that some access docks have been added in recent years.
Came across some old work of a student of mine, still online! If you're interested in shipwrecks on the #Ottawa & #Rideau rivers, check it out https://padlet.com/jaime6simons/shipwrecks-of-the-ottawa-river-and-rideau-canal-fnkkvgdz99pr7l1e
How a new downtown venue could change the music scene in Ottawa
Last February, Mayor Mark Sutcliffe and the head of Live Nation announced a new venue, History Ottawa, in the old Chapters on Rideau. CBCâs Sandra Abma looks at how it might bring bigger names to the city when it opens.

Train vs. car: How long does it take to get from Limebank to Rideau?
It was another big day for passengers riding the new north-south LRT and with many looking to cut down on their commute CTV News Ottawa wanted to see if itâs faster to get from the south end to downtown by car or by train.

The Lurms are feeding. A bit far from their usual haunts, but it only takes them about an hour to swim back up the #Ottawa, jump up #Rideau falls (at night) and back to their nests around Manotick. #canada #lurm
They usually go after middle school kids but maybe this boy was thrashing like an 11 year old.

This bit of the #Rideau is now 2/3rds frozen. Canada Goose numbers are down a lot from their peak some weeks ago, as they've cleaned out the nearby post-harvest grain fields.
Some are trying to mow some lawns, which are pretty green after recent rain and warmth, but at -8C that isn't going to last long.
I think a lot of the non-residents have moved on. The locals end up squeezed into smaller and smaller pools of open water, until its all frozen and they shove off to Black's Rapids etc.
Bass boat is fishing hard over a spot where I know there is a lost navigation marker.
The marker and it's anchor were dragged into a 30ft deep hole, so now the buoy floats suspended about 15 ft below the summer surface.
Fish finders go crazy and show all kinds of fish-like signal.
In the fall, when the water level drops about 10ft, and the water clears without boat traffic, the hovering buoy is visible.
