This building was used for fire training. There is usually a lock on the door but the day we went the door was wide open. There's not much to see in here except for the views of the 12 Mile Creek and the Burgoyne Bridge.

This area used to be Shickluna Shipyard, which closed in 1891 for various reasons, namely the third canal going through present day St. Catharines and ships changing from wood to iron hulls. When they built the fire training building, they unearthed a number of artifacts, and an archeological dig is underway. There's apparently a sunken and buried ship there, tentatively identified as the James Norris. https://saveontarioshipwrecks.ca/news/shickluna-shipyard-archaeological-tour/
does anyone know who owns this property or what the security is like there?
No regular security, except the one that patrols 12 mile creek, which doesn't usually go near it anyway. The door was also secured with a pad lock recently.
I went there few weeks ago. all doors and windows were Welded shut. No possible entry

This Building was demolished sometime in the summer. I think August. When I went I found some really old glass bottles there that they dug up which was cool! They have also started building a new one last time I saw.
