One of the best preserved examples of a slackwater canal, the Rideau Canal is a UNESCO World heritage site, located in what Canadian city?

The Rideau Canal is also sometimes called the Rideau Waterway, and it connects Ottawa to Lake Ontario and the Saint Lawrence River at Kingston, Ontario. Rideau is the French word for "curtain," and is derived because the Rideau River's twin waterfalls resemble a curtain. In winter, it becomes a giant ice skating rink.
