The canal system was constructed to compensate for the dramatic drop in elevation between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie which created Niagara Falls. Stand on the shores of the great Welland Canal and watch as ships weighing up to 30,000 tonnes are lifted up and over the escarpments and into the Great Lakes.

There is more to Niagara than the thunderous falls themselves. Travel to Queenston Heights, the site of the 1812 Battle of Queenston Heights where Major-General Sir Isaac Brock was killed in the defense of Upper Canada (now Ontario) and see Brock’s Monument. Then watch as huge ferries and barges make their way between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie on the man-made Welland Canal.

Pay your respects at the foot of Brock's Monument, which was erected in 1856 to serve as a reminder of the fallen General who saved Canada from being overrun by its southern neighbour.
