Living in Coteau-du-Lac
West & Off-Island
Coteau-du-Lac holds a unique place in Canadian history — it is the site of Canada's first lock canal, built in 1779–80, now preserved as a National Historic Site with British-era fortifications. The town itself is small and historic, with a character that larger neighbouring municipalities cannot replicate.
