Canal path safety
Lachine Canal National Historic Site
The path along the Lachine Canal is paved and is shared by cyclists, in-line skaters and pedestrians. Courtesy and caution are the keys to a successful outing.
The path is completely separated from car traffic, is well lit at night and has clear signage.
The path. I love. I share.

Electric scooter
Power-assisted bicycles or electric bicycles equipped with a running board, an open frame or a flat floor, commonly referred to as “electric scooter” are prohibited on the Lachine Canal path.
