Sault Locks Memorial
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.
Mémorial des écluses du Sault
Mémorial des écluses du Sault à la mémoire des Canadiens qui sont morts outre-mer au service de leur patrie et qui ont ainsi préservé notre patrimoine.
Le cairn commémoratif se trouve au lieu historique national du Canada du Canal‑de‑Sault Ste. Marie, tout près du canal. Le monument est fait en grès provenant de la région.
Le canal est utilisé par des plaisanciers; il est fermé à la navigation commerciale. Il s’agit d’un excellent endroit pour pique‑niquer.
