Brockville

Canada's first railway tunnel passes under City Hall continuing north under Victoria Avenue. It is about 500 metres long. Visitors can walk the entire length of the tunnel on a paved walkway. The artistic lighting is a major feature within the tunnel, which changes the colour of the tunnel lining to accompanying background music. Occasionally, a flash of light will pass through the tunnel accompanied by the sound of a train.

This is the main entrance to the tunnel. If you have the opportunity, see this portal at night.

Court House Square is an attractive, wide street with landscaped islands, a statue and a fountain. The square is dominated by the Court House at the north end.
