Brockville Railway Tunnel

CLOSED as of October 3rd, for the 2020 season. Stay safe and see you in 2021. No fee but please look for our RED DONATION BINS. Key features of the Tunnel restoration include a paved concrete floor, a music program and state-of-the-art energy efficient lighting for safety and to highlight the Tunnel’s architecture and geology. Canada's First Railway Tunnel was completed in 1860 for the Brockville and Ottawa Railway and later owned by the CP Railway until being acquired by the City of Brockville in 1983. The Tunnel is a remarkable example of Canada’s pre-Confederation industrial heritage that has been repurposed for the benefit of recreation, tourism and economic development. . * Daily Access may be limited due to private rentals.

The Railway Tunnel is located in downtown Brockville and is a free attraction, although donations are welcomed. We stayed in an AirBnB in Brockville and were in walking distance to the tunnel. The tunnel is quite a bit cooler than the outside air and a light sweater or raincoat is good to have during summer months. Water occasionally drips from above, but it wasn’t too bad. You can walk the tunnel in about 30 minutes (one way). Inside the tunnel is a music and light show that lasts 90 minutes and repeats. The tunnel is open from spring to fall and closes after a special show around Halloween.

Women's Memorial

Reviewed By robbygc - Toronto, Canada

This statue attracts our attention. There are two girls dancing, holding hands in the air and many birds land on their hands. There is a plaque nearby that explain why this statue was built. It's a memorial dedicated to the women and girls who live in violence day in and day out. They call this monument also The Voices of Hope. This monument is a symbol of hope and healing with a future with no violence ever again. I wish that too! I am glad that this monument attracts the attention of passersby. It's worthwhile!
