A statue of Lieutenant Colonel John By, the Royal Engineer who built the Rideau Canal and founded Bytown, the town that became Ottawa. Created by Joseph-Émile Brunet in 1971, it stands in Major's Hill Park looking out toward the canal and Parliament Hill. The park is open year round and the statue is free to visit.
