Welcome to Thorold, Ontario Canada

Where Ships Climb the Mountain

Walk, bike or drive the scenic Welland Canal Parkway and watch the quiet giants of the waterway climb the steps of the Twin Flight Locks. Just up the road is the summit of the canal system, Lock 7, the highest and last lift up the escarpment.

Thorold is rich in heritage homes, the site of the Battle of Beaverdams and home of the DeCou House, the destination of Laura Secord's quest to inform the British Army of the impending American invasion. Embrace the warmth of this historical Canal City.
