The Lachine Canal

From the Montreal Old Port to Lake St. Louis, the Lachine Canal used to be bordered north and south by some very interesting towns and districts. Sainte-Anne (Griffintown), Sainte-Anne (Pointe Saint-Charles), St. Gabriel, Sainte-Cunégonde, Saint-Henri, St-Pierre-aux-Liens, Côte St-Paul, Ville Émard, Lachine, and finally, La Salle (1912).

Check out the Pointe-à-Callière, Montreal Museum of Archaeology and History for a great exhibition entitled Dreams and Realities along the Lachine Canal, from November 25, 2003 to April 25, 2004. It tells the story of the daily lives of the men and women who lived and worked along the Lachine Canal between 1850 and 1950, and the companies they worked for.
