The Saint-Ours heritage canal, opened in 1849, enables boats travelling the Richelieu River to bypass a hurdle between Lake Champlain and the St. Lawrence River – the Saint-Ours dam. The fishway is part of the Saint-Ours Canal National Historic Site of Canada, by the dam between Sorel and Chambly, Quebec.
