21. Tow Path Lands

![]()
|
In a Statute dated January 28, 1832, the Tow Path lands (sixty-six feet in width along both sides of the Grand River) from the original Welland Canal Feeder Dam in Dunnville to the Village of Brantford, was reserved for the Grand River Navigation Company. The Statute directed that payment was to be made for the use of the Tow Path lands and provided for the expansion of the works from Brantford to Galt. The Tow Path lands were not for the general use of the public, but could be open on payment of dues.
On October 26, 1843, Thomas Parke, Surveyor General, advised that a reservation of one chain in width along both banks of the Grand River for a towing path would be made in all future descriptions of lands on the Grand River.
ALLEGATIONS
Six Nations remain the owners of the Tow Path lands (one chain in width or sixty-six feet) on each side of the Grand River as reserved from alienation by legislation and directives of the Crown.
There has never been a surrender for the Tow Path lands allowing for the specific sale these lands. In the alternative, Six Nations has not received full and fair compensation for the Tow Path lands.
