"The Lost Villages of Mille Roches, Moulinette, Wales, Dickinson’s Landing, Farran’s Point, and Aultsville; the hamlets of Maple Grove, Santa Cruz and Woodlands; and the farming community of Sheik’s/Sheek’s Island, were not lost through carelessness, they were disposed of with Government approval “for the common good”. Over 6500 people were displaced in the name of progress for the sake of the St. Lawrence Seaway and International Hydro Electric project." http://lostvillages.ca/history/the-lost-villages/mille-roches/

In 1964-1965 I lived in one of the town flooded for the Seaway, Iroquois On.. We lived in a house that was moved from the old town. My young son kept falling out of bed at first because the floors were not quite levelled:) He got used to it after a falls:) Iroquois is the first of the Seaway locks and maintains Lake Ontario's water level http://www.cruising.ca/thousand/o_docs/th-east.html www.cruising.ca/thousand/o_docs/th-east.html Cached IROQUOIS - CARDINAL ... The entire town is beautifully restored and walking the main street ...
