Winter work: Eric Ahermae, director of engineering on the Welland Canal, and his 400-man crew are racing against time to complete vital repairs to the 45-kilometre (26-mile) canal, which is drained of water at freeze-up time each year. The 50-year-old canal, which attracts thousands of summer sightseers, also attracts car thieves - at least 50 stolen cars were found on the muddy bottom this year.

Ahead of schedule: Engineers are installing 12 braces to shore up a wall in Lock 7 in the Welland Canal so they can drain it to inspect the damage caused by a cave-in Oct. 14. The repair job is almost three days ahead of schedule, but officials remained unsure yesterday when shipping can resume through the canal, which connects Lake Ontario to Lake Erie, bypassing Niagara Falls.
