It was because of the people’s desire to improve the navigation on the Red River that started it all. St. Andrew’s Locks was considered as one of the major engineering development of its time. It was on May 4, 1910, when it was officially opened and served the public. The ceremony was headed by Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier who spoke to thousand of Winnipegers about the pride brought by the new structural development to the citizens of Canada as a whole. Today, St. Andrews Lock and Dam is known to be a national historic site in Lockport.
