"The Capital contains examples of cultural landscapes designated to be of national historic significance. For example: the Central Experimental Farm, Rideau Hall Estate, Parliament Hill, and the Rideau Canal National Historic Site of Canada. All four have been the subject of recent planning exercises using variations on a cultural landscapes approach." (page 18/96).
Rideau Canal National Historic Site-( views of the Federal site should not be blocked by any buildings including including a provincial medical centre and high rise condominiums---savecfbrockcliffe.) "The draft Rideau Canal National Historic Site Plan (2002) puts new emphasis on the cultural landscapes of the canal corridor, with particular attention to the historic landscape features that define them. These features include the lock station landscape patterns, the views to and from the canal corridor, the rural landscapes that are representative of the settlement patterns that followed the building of the canal, and adjacent landscapes such as the Central Experimental Farm arboretum and the shoreline urban lands within the Ottawa portion of the canal."
