Port Colborne

Port Colborne is widely recognised in Ontario for serving as the Lake Erie terminus of the Welland Canal. On the Niagara Peninsula, the city stands where vessels enter or leave the waterway linking Lake Erie with Lake Ontario while bypassing Niagara Falls. The canal gives its harbour a working character: freighters, recreational boats and shore-side facilities share a corridor central to Great Lakes shipping. Lock 8 marks the canal’s southern end, while the waterfront opens onto Lake Erie. Port Colborne’s identity has long been shaped by shipping and industry, a connection celebrated by the Canal Days Marine Heritage Festival.
