Canal de Saint-Ours
The Saint-Ours lock was inaugurated in 1849. It is nicknamed the 10th lock of the Richelieu River. This lock is a historic point of interest. This channel has been essential to cross-border, regional and local trade for more than a century. Nowadays, the vocation of the canal is mainly aimed at boaters who visit the banks of the Richelieu River from their pleasure craft and participate in recreational tourism activities. Many visitors and families come to watch the passage of pleasure boats through the lock.
