Earlier this week, with my IR camera in hand, I spent some time exploring the Nokiidaa Trail in Newmarket/East Gwillimbury.
Scattered along the river, I found concrete structures, vestiges of a canal system of the early 19th century. The canal was to link Lake Simcoe to Lake Ontario. The construction of the canal began in 1906 but by the end of WWI, the project was abandoned and all that's left today are these deteriorating concrete monuments.
