I grew up along the Welland Canal, more toward the Port Colborne end ( Dain City), and enjoyed for years as the world of ships passed us by...the hours fishing along her shores and enjoying the clear waters in summer.The smelt thick as a blanket swimming by in the spring and ice skating on her in the winter. The area of the system I grew up along is now been cut off by land and her waters are dark and muddy since they constructed the new by-pass. So many bridges torn down or changes to single level styles.
