The Township is also host to a large section of the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the only such site in Ontario.

As the saying goes… ‘one person’s trash is another person’s treasure’!
Do you have used items that are of no use to you any longer, but are not quite ready for the landfill? They might become someone else’s treasure!
Saturday, April 26 and Saturday, October 18 have been marked as Rideau Lakes’ Trash 2 Treasures Day.
We encourage residents to place their ‘trash’ at the end of the driveway, with a “FREE” sign, and turn their ‘trash’ into someone’s ‘treasure’.
This is a great opportunity for people to travel through the Township and collect little treasures and take them home and re-use the items that are surplus for someone else.
Think about joining the many in Rideau Lakes on Trash 2 Treasures Day! If you would like to have your address added to our list as a Trash 2 Treasures participant, email Ben at and we will have a list to share with interested ‘shoppers’.
