Newmarket Canal

Newmarket Canal

The Newmarket Canal is an abandoned canal project in Newmarket, Ontario.

The idea for a canal linking to Lake Simcoe and the Trent-Severn Waterway was approved and construction started in 1906. It was almost complete in the summer of 1912 – three lift locks, three swing bridges and a turning basin – when the new government of Robert Borden cancelled the project.[1]
