  • Towards Harmonization in Naming Along Canada's Southern Border
    Towards harmonization in naming along Canada’s southern border Helen KERFOOT* In the 1950s, a major power project was constructed on the St. Lawrence River between Canada and the USA, and in 1959 the St. Lawrence Seaway was created. In order to undertake these large engineering projects that would benefit both countries, the water levels would be raised by over 73 metres. This would involve flooding of farmland, creating a new landscape, particularly on the Canadian side where it necessitated moving families from six communities and three smaller hamlets into two newly created communities above flood level. Naming the new features appeared straight forward, but turned out to be problematic, showing that a names board needs good supporting material with local input before making decisions and that Government ministers can influence decision-making; it also provides an example of preservation of cultural heritage through geographical naming. A lake was formed and required a name that could be used on both sides of the Canada/US border; agreement was reached, although not without questions. Some 25 years later, representatives of the names boards of Canada and the USA met to develop an agreement on the naming of transboundary features. This was signed in 1989 and has been in effect since. Following this agreement, an inventory was created of named features that crossed the Canada/US boundary. For various reasons there were differences in the names of a number of shared features in the inventory; few attempts have been made to change these names for consistency, and local usage and language may justify their retention as reflections of differing cultural heritages.

  • THE ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY COLLECTION Mss
    THE ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY COLLECTION Mss. Coll. # 40 Approx. 30 linear ft. Background: THE SEAWAY: THE HISTORY OF AN IDEA For those of us living in the second half of the twentieth century, the term "Seaway" conjures up images of 700 foot long ocean-going vessels, and huge hydroelectric dams capable of generating millions of kilowatts of electricity. "St. Lawrence Seaway" also brings to mind the huge construction project that took place during the 1950's in the so-called International Section of the St. Lawrence River between Ogdensburg/Prescott and Massena/Cornwall. The "seaway" concept, however, goes back nearly 200 years. Consistent over time is the dream of ocean-going vessels sailing without interruption from the Atlantic Ocean into the Great Lakes. The emergence of the concept of hydroelectric generation was a much more recent idea, originating at the turn of the 20th century. What has changed over time is the size and volume of ships and the importance of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River transportation route. When the Welland Canal was built in 1829 to connect Lakes Erie and Ontario, it was 8 feet deep. When the St. Lawrence Seaway was constructed 130 years later, the minimum depth was 28 feet. The implications of these changes are readily apparent. Deeper shipping channels and larger ships require more costly and extensive construction efforts. Recent public discussions about additional and larger locks are contemporary examples of the way the "seaway" concept continues to change over time. When Champlain and Cartier sailed up the St. Lawrence River they believed they had found the Northwest Passage to the Orient.

Our team was excited to welcome you back for the 2020 season and we would like to say thank you for choosing Parks of the St. Lawrence as your summer getaway. We would also like to express our gratitude to those of you who were displaced and relocated to other campgrounds in order to ensure you had a site for the season. While we understand that this was quite disruptive, we hope that it gave you an opportunity to explore the various campgrounds and facilities we have to offer as well as give you a chance to meet more of our staff and make new friends. We are already working away on our 2021 plans and are committed to having all of our campgrounds open next year with a full complement of staff. This will ensure that we are able to provide a safe camping environment for you as we move forward. We also hope that the enhanced measures that were put in place this year will provide some comfort, allowing those that remained at home to rejoin us and enjoy all that the Parks of the St. Lawrence has to offer. It’s Renewal Time At this time, we are reaching out to all our extended stay guests inquiring about renewal of their seasonal contracts for the 2021 season. Kindly review the attached information package, and complete and sign the online renewal contract by Friday, October 23, 2020.
