Thorold

Thorold is best known in Ontario for the Welland Canal, the shipping route that raises and lowers vessels between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. The city sits on the Niagara Escarpment, where canal engineering is particularly apparent: Thorold’s Lock 7 forms part of the current system’s eight locks. Opened in 1932, this fourth Welland Canal remains a working connection in the St. Lawrence Seaway network. Public paths and viewing areas trace sections of the waterway, while the former canal corridor recalls earlier phases of construction.
