That would be very cool to see! I didn’t know we had one in Ontario.
It made me think of the Pontcysylite Aqueduct I visited this summer in Wales. It was built in the 1800s as an industrial route across the River Dee. Now it’s a world heritage site and long boats and kayakers cross it. It’s amazing what engineers can design!

It was incredible. My friends walked across it, but I don’t like heights so I went below and took photos from underneath.
