Where can I invest my money and not be able to access it for approximately 1 year?

I'm in the same boat with my house down payment account. The bank keeps telling me to lock it away in a GIC. Yeah, thanks. I get 1.5% instead of 1.05%. Whoopty friggin doo. I get a whole $650 worth of interest per year on my current savings. Which of course is taxed.
