Exhibition: The Soulanges Canal (1899–1958)

An engineering marvel, the Soulanges Canal helped ships bypass the St. Lawrence rapids for over 50 years. A key player in Quebec’s maritime history, it shaped local communities and landscapes.


Today, its remains tell the story of a bold human and technical adventure.

Explore its rich past through 10 interpretive panels in this refreshed exhibition along the bike path.

This project was carried out as part of the cultural development agreement (2024) between the Quebec Ministry of Culture and Communications (MCC) and the MRC of Vaudreuil-Soulanges (MRCVS). It is also made possible through the support of the MRCVS and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MAMH) under the 'Signature Innovation' component of the Regions and Rurality Fund.
