Cantin was born on July 7,
1870. Like most people in
those days his formal
education was limitedto
public school. Heorked
veryhard on his father's
Tarm located on the Lake
Road, south of Bayfield.
Fortunately for the course of
this story, he became bored
with the daily farm chores
and at age 17 he became an
"entrepreneur" or a man who
starts and conducts extensive
industrial enterprises,
As an entrepreneur at this
• time he became involved in
the cattle business. He bought
cattle from the farmers of the
area, and shipped them from
Hensall to Buffalo.
In 1889 he married
Josephine Denomme and
they moved to Buffalo for
seven years. These were very
prosperous years. Besides the
cattle business he made up a
few domestic inventions and
eventually became a
representative of the Gag
Consumers Benefit Company.
Cantin was still in his
twenties at this time, a• -big
man, tall and weighing about
240 pounds. He had great
strength and athletic ability
as well as an intelligent mind.
While Cantin was living in
Buffalo he formulated his
idea about a new and deeper
canal system , through the
Great Lakes and the use of its
water for hydro electric'
power developments. In 1892
he -managed to interest some
Buffalo businessmen in this
•scheme and from that time on
he devoted his life to the plan.
Unfortunately not everyone
was to be easily convinced of
his plan.

SEAWAY
The old seaway system at
this time had very small 14
foot canals linking the Great
Lakes. It wasn't until 1954
that an act was passed for
Canada and the U.S. to
combine together and build a
new deep -water canal
system.
in 1896 Cantin returned
home to Canada to draw up
plans for a town on the shores
of Lake Huron. The town was
named St. Joseph in honor of
the saint which Cantin held in
the highest regard. The
streets were surveyed and
construction began in early
1897. Carotin visualized a man
