Welland Canal. Hard to miss! Once the largest industrial project in the world and still operating today it facilitated the opening of the Upper Great Lakes to the Atlantic and thereby imperial Britain. A monument to the hundreds of workers who died in its construction can be found just outside the downtown core.
