Irish Labourers on the Welland Canal
Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2026 01:47 PM
When many private canal projects in the United States failed during the depression of 1837, the large-scale migration of mostly Irish labourers from those canal projects, into Canada, meant that 5,000-10,000 labourers had arrived on Canada’s canals by 1842. The Welland Canal attracted the largest numbers – around 5,000. Considering the population of St. Catharines in 1845 was merely 3,500, the presence of these desperate labourers was notable.
