Ontario's Prettiest Town: Uniquely Historic Perth
Perth, Ontario. Never heard of it? Well, you're missing out. Voted as the 'prettiest town in the country' Perth is a fabulous spot for a romantic get-away, a quiet weekend away with the family, or a stop-over on a larger tour of Ontario or Canada.
Located on the eastern side of Southern Ontario 83 kms from Ottawa, Perth truly is one of the prettiest towns you'll ever visit. Full of elegant architecture and hospitable locals the city warms your heart and just makes you 'feel good.' Simple and charming, Perth is full of beautiful little restaurants, cafes and B&B's. Time just seems to float by effortlessly in Perth.
But the city has a very playful and cheeky side to it as well. In 2010 Perth held the historic Kilt Run in which 1067 kilt-clad runners (Guinness World Record!) crossed the finish line, including the mayor, John Fennick. An avid sailor, a writer and all around great guy John shouted the GCAT crew lunch and gave us a tour of his town. Like all Pethians John is proud of his town and welcomes all to come and enjoy some time in Perth. Be wary though, he doesn't buy every visitor lunch! ... Enjoy Perth!

Canoe Museum Peterborough - Canada HD Travel Channel
The canoe was the most important means of transport in Canada and many areas of the USA up to the 19th century. The Canadian Canoe museum (Canadian canoe museum) in Peterborough, Ontario is the only museum in North America specialized in canoes.
In the meanwhile the collection contains over 600 canoes and kayaks and mainly concentrates on the canoes of the indigenous people of Canada such as the Algonkin, the Mi'kmaq or the Abenaki. Artisans are keeping the traditional skills alive. Since 2002, canoe builders of the First Nations and Inuit are invited to pass on their knowledge and skills. Also stages in the history like the use of a Mi'kmaq canoe become again alive.
There is a scientific collection of historical canoes meant for various purposes. You see canoes of the indigenous peoples handmade and decorated with beautiful ornaments, built for hunting and war, but also rare deep-sea canoes or the canoes of the explorers. There are also luxury canoes, as the canoe of 1904 with gramophone, used by a generation that did get into a canoe to enjoy themselves.
A traditional Mi'kmaq wigwam or equipment of the land-hungry pioneers, once breaking up into the vastness of the North is displayed.
Modern canoes for Olympic sports disciplines, of course, all made in Canada, complete the collection. Thus, for example, the whitewater kayak Model Obsession II, which was built and used by the Canadian kayaking champion Monika Moisander-Gillespie in 1998 at the World Cup in Germany, or the Singles Racing Canoe Delta Model used by Olympic canoe athlete John Wood in his last international race at World Masters Games 1985.

Bis ins 19. Jahrhundert war das Kanu das wichtigste Transportmittel in Kanada und vielen Gebieten der USA. Das Canadian Canoe Museum ( Kanadisches Kanumuseum ) in Peterborough, Ontario ist das einzige auf Kanus spezialisierte Museum in Nordamerika.
Die Sammlung umfasst inzwischen über 600 Kanus und Kajaks und konzentriert sich schwerpunktmäßig auf die Kanus der fahrenden indigenen Völker Kanadas, wie zum Beispiel die Algonkin, die Mi'kmaq oder die Abenaki. Im Museum wird der Bau indianischer Kanus demonstriert. Seit 2002 werden jährlich Kanubauer der betreffenden First Nations und Inuit eingeladen um ihre Kenntnisse und Fertigkeiten zu vermitteln. Auch Etappen der Geschichte z.B. den Gebrauch eines Kanus bei den Mi'kmaq werden hier wieder lebendig.
Es gibt eine wissenschaftliche Sammlung historischer Kanus, die für die verschiedensten Zwecke bestimmt waren. Die Kanus der indigenen Völker, handgearbeitet und mit schönen Ornamenten verziert, gebaut für Jagd und Krieg, aber auch seltene Tiefsee Kanus, die Kanus der Entdecker, mit denen das weite Land erkundet wurde, sind ausgestellt. Es gibt aber auch Luxuskanus, wie das Kanu von 1904 mit Grammophon, das eher beschaulichen Zwecken einer Generation diente, die nicht ins Kanu stieg, um zu entdecken, sondern um sich zu vergnügen.
Dem Besucher werden die alltäglichen Ausrüstungsgegenstände mit denen einst die landhungrigen Pioniere in die Weiten des Nordens aufbrachen anschaulich präsentiert.
Moderne Sportkanus für olympische Disziplinen, natürlich alles Made in Canada, vervollständigen die Sammlung. So ist zum Beispiel das Wildwasser Kajak Model Obsession II, welches von der kanadischen Kajak Meisterin Monika Moisander-Gillespie gebaut und 1998 bei der Weltmeisterschaft in Deutschland benutzt wurde, oder das Kanu des olympischen Kanusportler John Wood das er bei seinem letzten internationalen Rennen bei den World Masters Games 1985 fuhr.

The Rideau Canal, Ontario - DanTraveling
The Rideau Canal (French: Canal Rideau), also known as the Rideau Waterway, connects the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on the Ottawa River to the city of Kingston, Ontario on Lake Ontario. The canal was opened in 1832 as a precaution in case of war with the United States and is still in use today, with most of its original structures intact.[1] The canal system uses sections of major rivers, including the Rideau and the Cataraqui, as well as some lakes. It is the oldest continuously operated canal system in North America, and in 2007, it was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site
