It was once known as “the second Niagara” and was a major tourist attraction in
lumber-town Ottawa. But it has been more than a century since anyone thought of

effectively dictated the site of the settlements that grew to become Canada’s
capital, have been largely invisible for decades because of the pulp mills and
power plants that blocked off access to Chaudière Island. via
