#13 is a lucky number for me as I wore it on my hockey jersey for 20 years of unremarkable performance in industrial and adult leagues and didn't die. And that brings us to #13 on our countdown of #CanadaRivers.
The Ottawa River begins at Lac des Outaouais, north of the Laurentian Mountains of central Quebec, flowing west to Lake Timiskaming. From there its route has been used to define the interprovincial border between Quebec and Ontario. The 1,271 km river has a watershed of 146,300 km2, ultimately draining into the St. Lawrence River. It served as a major trade route for Indigenous people and Ottawa means "to trade" in Algonquin. The river, it's surrounding forests and Indigenous people were all severely impacted by the forestry industry. Lumberjacks brought disease and over-hunted local game, logs jammed the river and dams were constructed to control water levels for moving timber. Today 50 dams, reservoir and hydroelectric, exist on the Ottawa.
