Lakeshore, Municipality in Essex County, Canada
Located along Lake St. Clair, Lakeshore extends over 530 square kilometers of predominantly agricultural land with 35 kilometers of waterfront.
The municipality formed in 1999 through the merger of Belle River town and four townships: Maidstone, Rochester, Tilbury North, and Tilbury West.
French-speaking residents make up nearly 10 percent of the population, marking Lakeshore as one of four Southern Ontario communities with substantial francophone presence.
The Atlas Tube Centre provides residents with three ice rinks, indoor track, gymnasium, library, tennis courts, and an aquatics complex.
During the United States Prohibition era, Belle River establishments in Lakeshore participated in cross-border alcohol distribution to American markets.
