    Law of Fiduciary Obligation

    In Canadian law, fiduciary obligation refers to a relationship in which one party (the fiduciary) is responsible for looking after the best interests of another party (the beneficiary). The courts have determined that a fiduciary obligation exists where the fiduciary can exercise some discretion or power, and they do so in a way that affects the interests of the beneficiary. In these relationships, the beneficiary is in a position of vulnerability at the hands of the fiduciary.

    Lawn Bowling

    Lawn bowling, or "bowls," is a game played on a flat lawn or green at least 36.6 m2. In a match, the object is to roll bowls so that as many as possible are nearer to the "jack" (a smaller white bowl) than the nearest opposing wood. Bowling can be traced back to ancient Egypt.

    Lachine Canal

    The Lachine Canal passes through the southwestern part of the island of Montreal, from the Old Port to the borough of Lachine, where it flows into Lake Saint-Louis. Now 14 km long and an average of about 50 m wide, it is, among other things, a navigable waterway that boats can use to bypass the Lachine Rapids, though these are passable only in small crafts with very shallow drafts. A series of five locks in total provides elevation changes of 12 to 15 m. While the canal’s structures look recent and are now used exclusively for recreational boating, they actually conceal a 300-plus-year history, including an industrial past of which only a few vestiges can still be seen. A living legacy of Canada’s industrial history, the Lachine Canal was declared a Canadian national historic site in 1996. The Lachine Canal National Historic Site is administered by Parks Canada, a federal agency.
