Working on the canal

Listen to the capsule
''Entrevue avec Monsieur et Madame Marleau'' by Natacha Marleau

Geneviève and Gaétan Marleau, both from Coteau-du-Lac, tell us about their jobs on the Soulanges Canal.

For 60 years, the Soulanges canal employed over 130 people, many of them from the region.

A scuba diver (or “pied-lourd”) needing help to get out of the canal due to the weight of his lead equipment enabling him to walk in the depths of the canal, among other things to check the condition of the lock gates.
