A brief description of any legally protected areas, internationally recognized areas, priority sites for biodiversity, and/or regions of conservation importance on institution owned or managed land:
The Rideau Canal is adjacent to Carleton University, recognized not only as a National Historic Site of Canada, but also a World Heritage Site. In the winter months, a portion of the canal also becomes the Rideau Canal Skateway, which is the largest skating rink in the world.
Part of the Carleton Campus also covers the Rideau River flood plain, regulated by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA), which is interested in reducing development in the river’s riparian zone. Carleton will work with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority to balance active use of the amenity of the river bank (such as walks, seating and patios) for a portion of the river bank, with limits of use to the majority of the area on campus, as shown below.
