Current threats to the Rideau Canal UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Recent developments prompted UNESCO to send a caution letter to Parks Canada:

• Various Federal Infrastructure Program projects along the length of the Rideau Canal World Heritage property;
• Rideau Canal Crossing pedestrian bridge (Ottawa);
• Chateau Laurier proposed expansion (Ottawa);
• Highway 417 bridge rehabilitation (Ottawa);
• Third Bridge Crossing (Kingston);
• Rideau Marina (Kingston); the marina was sold to a company that wants to build a 7-storey apartment building.
• Former Davis Tannery Brownfield Site Redevelopment (Kingston)'
• New Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus (Ottawa);
