Downtown Ottawa away from the new build.
Start (or end, depending which way you're coming, I suppose) of the Rideau Canal which connects Ottawa to Kingston on Lake Ontario. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the oldest continually operated canal in North America. It's mostly used for pleasure boating these days, and in winter when it freezes over, you can ice skate on it!
