This is the first in a series of episodes that explores the bridges that cross the Welland Canal.

Most of the time, when we think of these bridges, we think of being stuck at them. The many bridges that cross the canal from Port Weller to Port Colborne are often just thought of as part of the infrastructure that gets us from Point A to Point B- with sometimes a wait in between. But, when you are stuck at a bridge, waiting for a ship to pass, have you ever really thought about what that bridge represents? We can actually tell so many stories and explore our history in new ways by talking about the crossing points on the Welland Canal.

So, we share with you the Museum Chat Live! Canal Crossings mini-series. On this episode, your co-host Sara and special guest Des Corran introduce you to The Bridges.
