By government decree, the Ontario, Canada 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 Island
were inundated on July 1, 1958 for the sake of the St.
Lawrence Seaway and an international hydroelectric project. These
communities are known collectively as “The Lost Villages”.
Jim Brownell, President of the Lost Villages Historical Society, has offered to publish my pantoum, "The Lost Villages: Inundation Day" in the late-October issue of the Lost Villages Newsletter. Once it has been published, I will reproduce it here on the blog.
