Historically an industrial lifeline, the canal played a pivotal role in Canada’s industrial growth, allowing for transportation of goods and powering numerous mills and factories. Today, the canal is a 14.5-kilometer urban park and serves as a recreational hub equipped with bike paths, picnic areas, and boat tours, melding historical significance with contemporary leisure.
