• Note*: 31 August 1882; Murray Canal Grand Opening, Murray Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario; "Official Opening of the Canal Works - August 31, 1882; As we have seen, the Murray Canal had been an issue of great importance in the Bay of Quinte area for almost 80 years. Naturally, when the decision was finally made to go ahead with the project, a large sod turning ceremony was planned to celebrate and officially open the long-awaited works. It was held on Thursday August 31 near the west end of the route, on the farm of William Lovatt which had been appropriated for the canal right of way. Local bands from Trenton and Brighton were brought in to entertain the several thousand spectators, as well as the large numbers of local politicians who took part in the festivities. These included Mackenzie Bowell and other local M.P.'s like Robert Read and John White, who had been strong supporters of the canal. Provincial politicians, mayors, reeves, and numerous other dignitaries from the surrounding area were also present as were representatives of the local press and prominent area businessmen." from "A Construction, Operations and Maintenance History of the Murray Canal", by Colin Powles, Canadian Parks Service, Ontario Regional Office, Summer 1991, page 21 & 22.
