User:Dr.Gord

Dr.Gord was born April 16, 1974 in St.Catharines, Ontario, Canada.

Growing up in St.Catharines, Ontario, The Welland Canal has always been a part of life. As a teenager, I used to hike around, what was explained to me as "The Old Canal", not knowing at the time there was actually more then one old canal. Later I found out this was actually the 3rd Welland Canal. As I got older and became more and more interested in history, I found that there was actually four Welland Canals. After moving to Port Colborne, Ontario and seeing the care that was taken here to preserve the old locks, I decided to see what else was remaining. Researching on the internet, I found that indeed there are a lot of remains left, but no real in depth pictures, so I began my mission to create a website of pictures of these remains. That site was DrGordsWorld.com. This site gathered a lot of interest however I felt it was lacking in some areas, and decided to re-design a website that was 100% focused on the Welland Canal. Hence, Wellandcanals.com was born.

Dr.Gord also has a strong interest in the paranormal as it relates to more our history. He participates in a paranormal investigation group called The Shadows Project, previously he was with NAGS Canada.
