Brockville Dive Report: 28 July – 30 July 2017

This weekend is looking sunny with temperatures in the low-to-mid 20’s in the Brockville and Kingston area. It is getting busier on the river after a bit of a slower start than usual, but as we head towards August boats are filling up fast. If you are looking for some diving call the charters to see who has spaces. There are still spots for one or two last-minute divers on a lot of the boats.

Brockville Dive Report: 21 July – 23 July 2017

This weekend it is looking like we will have sun on Saturday and Sunday, but there is a chance of thunderstorms on Sunday. Water levels are still high, but there have been some small drops in the water levels. Access to the Conestoga shore dive has been re-opened as the road is no longer covered in water. The Rothsay is also accessible for shore diving.

Rideau lakes transform from defence project to tourist attraction today

Canada’s Rideau waterway linking Ottawa (the nation’s capital) with Kingston Ontario was built for military purposes but its role evolved dramatically in the years to follow. So did Canada, which did not exist as a nation until 1867. That was more than five decades after the War of 1812 between the United States and British loyalists opposed joining Americans who had broken away from Britain to form their own country. The war was inconclusive with both sides declaring victory in what was mainly a series of skirmishes.
