The brass ship's bell was presented to the Mayor by a member of the Celebrating Committee for the 150th anniversary of the Rideau Canal, 1832-1982. The construction of the Rideau Canal took six-years and was never used for its intended purpose as a military supply waterway.
Location: This bell is in a plexiglass display, on the second floor of the Heritage Building located at the corner of Elgin and Lisgar Streets. The Heritage Building can also be accessed from the Ottawa City Hall.

Cloche du Canal Rideau
La cloche de navire en laiton a été offerte à la mairesse par un membre du comité de célébrations du 150e anniversaire du canal Rideau, 1832-1982. La construction du canal a duré six ans, et le canal n’a jamais rempli sa fonction militaire première de voie d’approvisionnement.
Emplacement: Cette cloche se trouve dans un présentoir en plexiglas, au deuxième étage de l'édifice du patrimoine, situé au coin des rues Elgin et Lisgar. L’édifice du patrimoine est également accessible depuis l’hôtel de ville d’Ottawa.
