Other

The Sault Locks Memorial is dedicated to the memory of Canadians who died overseas in the service of their country and so preserved our heritage.

The memorial cairn is located in the Parks Canada Soo Locks park, quite close to the canal. Local sandstone was used in the construction of the monument.

The lock is used by recreational boaters, no commercial shipping. The area is also an excellent picnic spot for those so minded.

Inscription

They will never know the beauty of this place, see the seasons change, enjoy natures chorus. All we enjoy we owe to them, men and women who lie buried in the earth of foreign lands and in the seven seas. Dedicated to the memory of Canadians who died overseas in the service of their country and so preserved our heritage.
