The St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes Waterway make up a crucial trade trade route for Canada and the United States. It is a combination of locks, canals and channels that enable larger boats to bypass obstacles such as the Niagara Falls and the rapids of St. Mary’s River.
The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (SLSMC), is a proud sponsor of NEM 2018!
The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation is a not-for-profit corporation responsible for the safe and efficient movement of marine traffic through the Canadian Seaway facilities, which consists of 13 of the 15 locks between Montreal and Lake Erie. The Corporation plays a pivotal role in ensuring that the waterway remains a safe and well-managed system, which it shares with its American counterpart, the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation.
SLSMC is an Investor Sponsor for NEM 2018
During National Engineering Month there were many events in eastern Ontario and the Niagara Region. On behalf of the National Engineering Month Ontario, our founding partners and all of our volunteers across the province, we thank the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation for their support. Here is a social media recap of some these amazing activities!
