In 2023 Ron, a sailor, decided to do a power boat thing, and travelled on the Rideau Canal from Kingston to Ottawa and back. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Rideau Canal was completed in 1832. It provided a military route between Lower Canada and Upper Canada without using the St. Lawrence River, which was under American control. Today the Rideau is a recreational waterway that threads through both the interesting history and beautiful geography of South Eastern Ontario. Ron described his experiences, showed pictures, and offered suggestions to those wanting to explore this part of Ontario's waters. About Ron Jenkins
