This is called Centennial Fountain at Little Lake in Peterborough and is the highest jet fountain in Canada. It was installed in 1967 to commemorate our Centennial and the water shoots up to 250ft. Other little known facts are that on May 24, 1884, Peterborough became the first city in Canada with electric street lighting. A well known fact to residents of Ontario, Canada is that the Peterborough Lift Lock, built in 1904, is still the highest hydraulic lock in the world with a rise of 65 feet.
