Anyone who has visited Kingston will recognize the bridge below. It is The LaSalle Causeway which has Lake Ontario to the South and the Catarqui River on the North side and separates Kingston's inner and outer harbours. Construction of the causeway was completed on April 15, 1917.
Three bridges are incorporated into the causeway, the center one being a Strauss trunnion bascule lift bridge designed by Joseph Strauss, designer of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
We know it as "The Bumble Bee Bridge" because of the sound it makes when you cross over in a car.
The video below refers to it as "The Singing Bridge" and you'll see (and hear) why!
July 1st is Canada Day - have a Happy one!!
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
