Why is there a ‘private’ lake in Rockcliffe that’s off limits to public swimmers?
from This is Ottawa
“The Pond” in Rockcliffe Park is a bucolic swimming hole in the city. But the lake right next to it is off limits to the public.

Robyn Bresnahan dives into the history of McKay Lake and hears how it’s more complicated than a tale of posh versus plebe.
