Introduced by the Prime Minister of Canada, The Rt. Hon John Diefenbaker Q.C.

The St. Lawrence Seaway is one of the greatest construction projects of all time. It took 22,000 men more than four years to build it and the great hydro-electric scheme. It cost more than 1,000 million Canadian and American dollars; its seven great new locks are capable of handling 80 per cent. of the world's shipping; and the 1,200 miles from Montreal to Port Arthur it opens up make it the longest fresh-water seaway in the world.
Written and produced by Ian Curtis.
A West Region Film Unit production made in co-operation with the National Film Board of Canada
