Richmond was founded in 1818 and is the oldest community within the current City of Ottawa.
To celebrate Richmond's 200th birthday in 2018, we have created the Richmond Passport Tour!
The Richmond 200 Passport Tour gives you the opportunity to explore Richmond by finding the 10 caches hidden around our village. Use a Passport (printable here) to make rubbings of each of the 10 special symbols found in the containers. Collect all 10 rubbings and submit your completed Passport to earn one free Richmond 200 Commemorative Coin!
The Rideau Trail is a walking path that runs all the way from Parliament Hill in Ottawa to the edge of Lake Ontario in Kingston.
The Rideau Trail is marked with orange and blue trail markers. The markers are often attached to telephone poles, pointing in the direction of the trail. At this corner, you can see four markers: two pointing out the path that follows Fortune Street, and two for the alternate path that follows Burke Street to the river.
