3 A Message from the Mayor s Office Welcome to Edwardsburgh/Cardinal, one of Eastern Ontario s most progressive communities. Our unique location along the St. Lawrence River provides recreation and tourism assets second to none in the province. With a rich history and love of culture, the residents of Edwardsburgh/Cardinal enjoy an unparalleled quality of life and opportunity. Our proactive council and committees have positioned the Township to take advantage of opportunities for continuing growth and expansion. Some of the initiatives undertaken by Council are a review and revision of our Official Plan to recognize today s changing requirements and opportunities for growth. We are seeing new business openings and the expansion of existing businesses both in our expanded Industrial Park and in our communities of Johnstown, Spencerville and Cardinal where we have subdivision lots available for building. The Port of Prescott, owned and operated as a division of the Township of Edwardsburgh/ Cardinal, is a major resource for continued growth. With its cleaner, dryer, loading conveyors and new hopper this grain elevator continues to be a highly successful business. Plans are underway to move forward with new capital ventures, including a new wharf, storage bins, loading conveyors, modular buildings, and energy reduction initiatives. With potential for shipping and receiving, new businesses could include dried distiller grains, wood pellets, containers, aggregates, wood products, crops, or waste products. There is also future opportunities for cruise ship docking and winter berthing. One of the newest occupants of the Industrial Park is the Greenfield Ethanol Plant. They provide state-of-the-art biofuel ethanol and are located within the Park boundaries on land purchased by Greenfield seeking proximity to the Port and highway access. The Township is in constant communication with its partners to expand into new markets and technologies for growth and to create sustainable employment for our residents. We are working with the Eastern Ontario Model Forest, and the Ontario East Wood Centre to create an Eco Industrial Park utilising Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards to establish a world-class research and innovation centre to find new uses for our abundant feed stocks of wood and by-products. We l c o m e t o t h e To w n s h i p o f E d wa r d s b u r g h / C a r d i n a l

Our quiet township roads offer enticing cycling opportunities through some of the richest agricultural land in Ontario. Improved facilities at the Connestoga and Wee-Hawk shipwreck dive sites attract hundreds of divers per year. Visitors are always welcome in the nearby restaurants and stores. In the Village of Cardinal, fishermen and pleasure boaters are well-served by our busy boat launch to the river. The high walls of the Old Galop Canal at the former Head Locks offer easy-on and easy-off tie ups for even the largest pleasure cruisers. For quiet water canoe/kayaking nothing can be prettier than a three hour leisurely trip down the South Nation River from County Rd 18, just off the township s western boundary, to the historic Spencerville Mill in the quiet Village of Spencerville. At the end of the trip cold drinks are always available from Drummond s Gas Bar just a short walk from the water. Canoeists should take note of the annual Poker Run! Tenters and campers of all sizes will be attracted to Grenville Park on the St Lawrence River, the KOA Campground at Pittston, or Wildwood Campground on County Rd 44, near The Green Gables w w w. e d wa r d s b u r g h c a r d i n a l. c a

This is the only seaway draft port between Toronto and Montreal and provides cash crop receiving, grading, drying and storage services to the entire Eastern Ontario agricultural community. Immediately adjacent to the Port of Prescott is the Township s 300 acre Industrial Park providing access to raw land for future businesses. Whether for business or pleasure, the Township of Edwardsburgh/ Cardinal offers many opportunities for exploration, relaxation and investment.

6 Township History The Township of Edwardsburgh/Cardinal has a rich and interesting history beginning before the Loyalists arrived in The French, working with their Indian allies, built a storehouse on the shores of Johnstown Creek, which was then called Old Breeches River. The storehouse was used to store supplies as they made their way to fur trading posts upriver and Fort Frontenac (Kingston today) from 1673 to Fort de Levis was built on Chimney Island (located just off present day Grenville Park) in the hopes of delaying the British advance down river. The final battle between the French and British during their conquest of North America took place here in August saw the arrival of the loyal subjects of George III, fleeing the American Revolution. The first settlement of 166 settlers in Edwardsburgh Royal Township #6 was at Johnstown, which was named after Sr. William Johnson. By 1789, a town site was laid out in one acre lots with streets named after the family of George III and with the exception of one, remain so today. The drawing of lots in Edwardsburgh was unusual in that every loyalist head-of-household drew from the hat, giving one and all an equal chance at receiving the most desirable piece of land, near the front and close to the river. The District of Johnstown Court House, which was located almost under Prescott-Ogdensburg International Bridge, was built between 1795 and Unfortunately, the Seat of Justice was moved to Elizabethtown in 1810 and with it went the hope that Johnstown would grow in prominence. The Coat of Arms which once hung in the Johnstown Court House can now be seen in the Court House in Brockville. In 1838 a group of approximately 200 insurgents from the United States called Patriot Hunters, seized the windmill and surrounding houses in support of the Upper Canada Rebellion. The British forces and local militia were able to defeat the Patriots; however, forty-eight men were killed and eighty-nine wounded in the battle. Today the Battle of the Windmill is a National Historic Site. The first mill was built by David Spencer in 1811 or 1817 in the Village of Spencerville and was replaced by a stone grist mill in The town hall was first constructed in 1855 and like the mill, after being gutted by fire, was rebuilt at later dates. In 1855 a long-standing tradition of agricultural fairs was first held in Spencerville. Cardinal, prior to its incorporation in 1878, was known by many names, Point Cardinal, Munro s Point, Port Elgin and also Edwardsburgh. As early as 1794 Hugh Munro operated a saw and grist mill. In 1844 work began on the Galop Canal and in 1898 the canal was improved and enlarged. In 1858 the Benson & Aspden w w w. e d wa r d s b u r g h c a r d i n a l. c a

7 Township History Starch Company began in Cardinal and remains in operation today as Casco. The first passenger train stopped at the village in In 1800 there were only 537 inhabitants in the township, but the population grew as many immigrants, predominately from England, Scotland and Ireland, arrived between 1851 and The population grew to 3216 in 1849 and by 1861 there were 6014 inhabitants. In 1929 the grain elevator was built, with a 5 million bushel capacity. Today the elevator is owned and operated by the Township of Edwardsburgh/Cardinal. Prior to the completion of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1958, the canal locking system was too short to allow the lake ships to get through; therefore, cargo had to be transferred to eastbound canal boats. In 1960 the Prescott-Ogdensburg International Bridge opened, and in 1964 the Ontario Travel Information Centre was built, welcoming visitors from all parts of the world to our area. Today the Township of Edwardsburgh/ Cardinal is alive with activity. The Greenfield Ethanol plant, the raw water plant, and the Ontario East Wood Centre and Eco-Industrial Park are in various stages of planning and construction. Many of the original settlers descendants still reside in the township and area. Much has changed, but much remains the same. Would a settler that first stepped onto our shore 224 years ago recognize the township today? Most likely, as some of the homes that they built still exist, and the land is still being used for agricultural purposes. Many of their descendants still reside in the township and area. Much has changed, but much remains the same. We l c o m e t o t h e To w n s h i p o f E d wa r d s b u r g h / C a r d i n a l

The village was first settled by United Empire Loyalists, but it was the French voyagers who rested by the river rapids who gave them their original name, Galoop meaning galloping waters, and hence the Galop Canal. Local maple syrup producers host pancake breakfasts throughout the sap run in March and April. Visit the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers Association ( php) and search the Lanark region for the Spencerville-based operators. It s a sweet treat! w w w. e d wa r d s b u r g h c a r d i n a l. c a

9 Waterways Edwardsburgh/Cardinal exists today where a large sea once covered our land and glaciers carved out the topography. Our history and our future are intrinsically bound to the fresh water within our township. The South Nation River serves as the primary drainage basin and the St. Lawrence River forms our southern boundary with the United States of America. Dating back to settlement by Native North Americans the waterways of our township have been the conduit of settlement, transportation, commerce and recreation. Settlement has always been influenced by our geography. The first inhabitants and then permanent settlers founded our villages beside water. Johnstown and Cardinal were strategically located based on the existence of rapids and the depth of the St. Lawrence. Spencerville thrived as a center for milling of local grain products and the historic mill remains a focal point of the township. The mill in Cardinal evolved into one of the largest wet corn milling operations in Canada, now known as Casco, and has been in operation for over 150 years. Ocean. Others stop at our marina or our deepwater port to transfer or take on new cargo. From the early days of the forwarding trade, to the expansion and revisions of the Galop Canal system, then the creation of the St. Lawrence Seaway Project in the 1950s, water has been a critical part of our logistics. To guests and residents alike, our water resources provide a wealth of recreational opportunities. Boating or canoeing the shallow water provides beautiful and unique interactions with nature. Fishing produces countless species of fresh water trophies all year long. Swimming and picnics are always a summertime favourite. Scuba diving in one of the cleanest fresh water settings in the world allows you a variety of challenges and rewards ranging from basic to advanced wreck exploration. We are the heart of the St. Lawrence Region. While there are many streams, creeks and rivers to provide transportation, the St. Lawrence River is our waterway to the world. Each year, hundreds of freight laden cargo ships, sailboats and yachts pass by on their way between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic We l c o m e t o t h e To w n s h i p o f E d wa r d s b u r g h / C a r d i n a l
