This memorial, erected in 1931 by the Historic Sites and Monuments Commission of Canada, is dedicated to the memory of the Carillon Canal. The canal was constructed by Royal Engineers between 1826 and 1833 and helps to connect Montreal with Ottawa and Kingston. This canal was also enlarged some 50 years later.
