Well good evening folks! This just in, the Rideau Canal has just been finished, and is ready to go! If you didn't know, the Rideau Canal was built by Lieutenant-Colonel John By, and the big project started 6 years ago! Holy mack! The Canal is located between the Ottawa River and Lake Ontario. The purpose of this was to connect the two bodies of water to transport supplies and troops. It was placed north of the St. Lawrence so it would be safe from American attackers, and transportation for British troops would be much more efficient. The area where the Canal was built has now taken on the name of Bytown.
As you know, because of the war, there are not as many crops in this region, which has led to food prices sky rocketing up. But you can still get some pretty good steals at your local market today, so be sure to stock up!
Well, that's all for today! Check back later for more B.N.A. Today!
