"The Lachine Canal National Historic Site of Canada is located in the southern part of the island of Montreal. This 14.5 kilometre long engineering structure was built between 1821 and 1825 in order to bypass the Lachine Rapids. The canal was designated of national historic significance in 1929. This new management plan is part of the renewal of the site and its surroundings, in the midst of a full urban redevelopment process. The plan will also allow the canal to better position itself within Montreal's tourist and cultural activities. The vision for the Lachine Canal aims to create an emblematic and inspiring place, supported by a community committed to its protection and improvement"--Executive summary, p. vii.

The Lachine Canal, part of Parks Canada's national historic sites network since 1978, is a recreational park extending 13.4 kilometres between the old Port of Montreal and Lake Saint Louis. This report summarizes opinions, suggestions, and comments arising from a public consultation program that was part of the revision of the management plan for the Lachine Canal National Historic Site. The first part provides details on the consultation exercise itself, while the second reports on opinions regarding proposals presented in the information document entitled 'The Future of the Lachine Canal National Historic Site.' Opinions are summarized under the following headings: Parks Canada objectives for the Canal; commemoration and conservation objectives; development concerns; issues and guidelines related to such matters as preserving heritage resources, decontaminating the Canal, and using Canal banks and waters; and the development concept for the Canal site.

Ideal for history buffs interested in inland navigation and industrial history, this volume reveals how the construction of the Lachine Canal starting in 1821 played a pivotal role in the industrial development of Montreal and all of Canada. Truly revolutionary, the canal ultimately allowed ships to bypass the previously insurmountable rapids and reach the Great Lakes, and its many consequences and benefits are described in detail.

During the 1790s, Upper Canada’s first lieutenant governor, John Graves Simcoe, promoted the idea of a canal in the area between the Bay of Quinte and Presqu’ile Bay on Lake Ontario, but his idea did not come into fruition until decades later. Why did it take so long? In A History of the Murray Canal, historian Dan Buchanan provides a detailed account of the building of the Murray Canal and how lobbying and politics combined to finally make it happen in 1889. Industries, farmers, and merchants around the Bay of Quinte all wanted an easier, cheaper path to move products within the region. Mounting pressure from them, supported by their members of Parliament, pushed politicians to finally approve the necessary funding to build a canal. The construction of the Murray Canal began in 1882, with the contract going to a company that had experience with the Welland Canal. Steam-powered dredges dug the canal straight from Twelve O’Clock Point to Presqu’ile Bay, through land that had been expropriated from farmers along the route. When it opened at last, the Murray Canal became an important link in the regional transportation system, a role it continues to play today as part of the Trent-Severn Waterway. Currently the only published historical record of the Murray Canal, A History of the Murray Canal not only chronicles how the canal was built and how it has changed over the years, but also sheds light on the movers and shakers who got the job done.
