Mr. Struthers said the goal of the local delegation is to increase on-land and on-water tourism traffic by promoting the Rideau Canal as a world-class tourism destination.
Other representatives from Norway, Netherlands, Italy, South Korea, France, Serbia, Chile, United Kingdom and the United States are also presenting.
