Which type of body of water is NOT one of the three main bodies in Welland?

The correct answer identifies Lake Ontario as not being one of the main bodies of water in Welland. The focus here is on the specific waterways that are part of the local area, which include the Welland River and the two sections of the Welland Canal—often described as the Old and New Canals.

The Welland River is an important local waterway, providing both recreational opportunities and serving as a key aspect of the local ecosystem. Similarly, the Welland Canal (both the Old and New versions) is a significant structure that facilitates shipping and navigation, playing a vital role in the regional economy.

In contrast, while Lake Ontario is a major body of water in the Great Lakes system and impacts the region, it is not specific to Welland itself. Welland’s waterway focus is concentrated on the river and canal systems that directly influence local activities and geography. By pointing out Lake Ontario, the question is differentiating between local sources of water and those that are more broadly associated with the Great Lakes.
