Day 1 Ottawa: ByTown Museum

Tried to load CAD 30 onto my Preston bus card using the mobile app. Payment was successful, but it couldn't detect and transfer the credit to my Preston bus card.

Took the bus from the apartment to the ByTown museum. The Bytown museum chronicles the growth and development of Ottawa, formerly known as Bytown, from its rough days to the bustling metropolitan city it is today.

Besides, the museum is the Ottawa locks, comprising 8 locks connecting Ottawa River with Rideau canal, which made it possible for boats to travel from Kingston to Ottawa, journey of over 200kms. The two water bodies are at different heights. The locks help in raising and lowering the connecting water bodies, making it possible for boats to sail through.Læs mere
