Moments in Algoma: J.W. LeBreton Ross

J.W. LeBreton Ross was Superintending Engineer at the Sault Ste. Marie Canal for 29 years (1907 – 1936). During that time he converted the canal grounds into a welcoming space for citizens of the community. LeBreton Ross was also a driving force behind the formation of the Historical Society (1920) and the Sault Ste. Marie Horticultural Society (1926), contributions that are appreciated to this day.
