travel regions - 1000 Islands/St Lawrence Seaway

Known internationally as an area of spectacular vistas, the 1000 Islands and St. Lawrence Seaway offer visitors a multitude of activities from festivals and events, outdoor recreation, wonderful shopping and dining, world-class attractions and so much more.

U.S. visitors can access the region at any of three international bridge border crossings. Kingston is the western gateway to the beauty of the Islands and the largest city in the region. Plan to explore the other communities within this region including Gananoque, Brockville, Rockport and the 1000 Islands Parkway, Prescott and Cornwall. Take a 1000 Islands cruise available from Kingston, Gananoque, Rockport or Brockville and cruise among the more than1870 Islands (yes, there's actually more than a 1000) and see the spectacular island homes up close.

For years the 1000 Islands have been a millionaire's playground with many making this area their summer retreat. The grandest structure in the Islands is Boldt Castle located on Heart Island. Accessible by water taxi, tour and private boats, the castle has been restored and features the Boldt Yacht House on Wellesley Island and six impressive structures.

And of course, the 1000 Islands and St. Lawrence Seaway are a great place to enjoy the water - boating, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, jet skiing, scuba diving, water taxis, charters, casino and cruises are all here. The St. Lawrence River is a major inland water route for majestic ocean-going ships. The Iroquois Locks, the only locks in the St. Lawrence Seaway system to be located in Eastern Ontario, are a great place to see majestic Lakers and ocean vessels from all over the world.

The outdoor enthusiast will appreciate the St. Lawrence Recreational Path, which stretches over 75 kilometres, the majority of which follows the shoreline of the St. Lawrence River. The path begins in Lancaster, travels west to Cornwall and winds through the rolling terrain toward Long Sault. The path then follows the island causeway of the Long Sault Parkway and continues to the Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary in Ingleside, then arriving at Upper Canada Village and on into Morrisburg.

The 1000 Islands and St. Lawrence Seaway – a world class destination waiting to be explored.

Cultural life in Ottawa is like nowhere else in Canada. As the nation’s capital, our national institutions showcase the country’s best. And our vibrant local scene is wonderfully creative. So there’s always plenty going on—in both English and French.

For the performing arts, the National Arts Centre is a stage for Canada’s top talent. But our local theatre scene is top-notch as well, with regular productions in English at Centrepointe Theatre, the Ottawa Little Theatre and the Great Canadian Theatre Company, for example, and in French at Le Théâtre de la nouvelle scène, Le Théâtre de l’Ile and La Maison de la culture de Gatineau. And don’t forget the shows at the Théâtre du Casino.

Arts Court, the city’s municipal arts centre, is a venue for theatre and dance as well visual arts. The beautiful National Gallery of Canada showcases Canadian art. Check out also the numerous art galleries along Sussex Drive in the ByWard Market. On the Québec side of the Ottawa River, there are exhibits in such places as Espace Pierre Debain, Le Centre d’art contemporain AxeNéo7, and Galerie Montcalm at Gatineau City Hall.

Ottawa boasts a superb collection of museums, both national and local. The Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography’s collection includes 160,000 photographic works. There are ongoing exhibits and talks at Library and Archives Canada. You can explore the history of Canada at the Canadian Museum of Civilization, or Ottawa’s rowdy, lumberjack past at the Bytown Museum.

We are a city of festivals. The Ottawa Fringe Festival is about theatre, the Carnival of Cultures explores our multicultural heritage, the Ottawa Busker Festival brings performances into the streets. We have a writers’ festival, an animation festival, and in Gatineau, next door, a cartoon festival and a major annual French-language book fair.

Music and dance are everywhere. Le Groupe Dance Lab is a hothouse for new dance; at Turtle Island Tourism Company, experience native Canadian dancers. In the summer, we host Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival, the Ottawa International Jazz Festival and the Cisco Systems Ottawa Bluesfest. And we have our very own opera company, Opera Lyra.

That’s something to sing about!
