The Welland International Flatwater Centre is located at the south end of the Welland Recreational Waterway. The Waterway used to be a part of the canal connecting Lake Ontario to Lake Erie and was closed to ships with the creation of the Welland Bypass in the 1970s. A legacy of the TORONTO 2015 Pan American Games, the Welland International Flatwater Centre consists of a timing tower, an indoor paddle tank and multi-functional modular docking.
