Lonely Planet review for Bastion

Built by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1853, the landmark fortified Bastion tower only fired occasional cannons to simmer down regional ruckuses. A brief but charming ceremony sees one of the canons fired for tourists at noon each day - the polystyrene 'cannonball' is surprisingly loud.
