KEEPING IT LOCAL
A Little History
"I like the idea of being able to come home really and truly and that there's so much history in this building, it just seemed right"
-Samena Kennedy
Our History
First came the grist, flour and lumber mills. Then came the people to work the mills and thus began the local economic growth that is now The Village of Fenelon Falls. As in the beginning, local industries continue to work together contributing to the success and strong community that is The Village of Fenelon Falls today.
The Fallsview Restaurant (now The Locker at The Falls) was opened in 1973. It was built on the very foundation of The Lindsay Generating Station which began producing electricity for Lindsay in 1900 and was mostly removed (except the foundation) sometime before 1971. Years later a 12 year old Samena went looking for a summer job . "Something to do" for Samena developed into a true love of the restaurant & service industry. Now the proud owner of The Locker at The Falls Samena says, "I'm excited to be back in the same building and back where things originally started for me. I have a personal and emotional attachment to the building and to this entire transition it has a lot of sentimental value."
