| One of Canada’s greatest nineteenth century engineers, Casimir Stanislaus Gzowski, key member of the 1871 Commission that studied Canada’s inland water route from the Atlantic to Lake Superior, urged the building of the St. Lawrence Seaway as a feasible engineering project. A 19th century Renaissance man, Gzowski, as the first chairman of the Niagara Parks Commission, 1885-1893, planned the world-famous park system on the Canadian side of the Niagara River. In 1877, he was a founder of Wycliffe College, now part of the University of Toronto and, in 1881, a founder of the Ontario Jockey Club. He established the gold Gzowski Medal awarded each year for outstanding written contribution to engineering. Made an honorary A.D.C. to Queen Victoria in 1879, Gzowski was knighted in 1890. |
Casimir Stanislaus Gzowski was born in 1813 at St. Petersburg into an old Polish noble family — his father, Count Gzowski, at that time being an officer in the Russian Imperial Guard. Casimir duly received a military college education, graduated as an engineer, and received a commission in the Russian Army. Dissatisfaction was felt increasingly in Poland against a long era of Russian domination and, in 1830, the time seemed ripe to end this. A revolt broke out that involved most of the Polish officers in the Imperial Army. While a 17-year-old Casimir fought zealously beside his comrades, the Russian regime was driven from the Polish capital of Warsaw. In several bloody struggles that followed, he was wounded and narrowly escaped capture. When the armed weight of Russia and her Allies finally crushed the insurrection in 1831, Gzowski went first into internment in Austria and then, in 1833, into exile in the United States. Though he was a capable linguist in French, German, and Italian, he knew no English but his intelligence, will, and initiative enabled him not just to survive but also to prosper in the very different world into which he had been flung.
He got by in New York, where he had landed, by teaching French and German, picking up English fast at the same time. Then, since his limitations in English still prevented him from following his own training in engineering, he decided, in order to advance his English skills, to study law. In 1837, now in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, he passed his bar examination. But soon thereafter (his English by this time being excellent), he left the legal field to return to his first love, engineering and, through the late 1830s into the ’40s, gained employment as an engineer on various canal and public works projects, earning a name for successfully completing his contracts. Thus it was that, when enlarging the Welland Canal in Canada was under discussion in 1841-42, Gzowski came to Toronto from his existing base in Erie, Pennsylvania, looking for another contract. Without knowing it, he had reached his new and lasting homeland. Governor General Sir Charles Bagot was so impressed by the character and talents of this 29-year-old engineer that he backed his appointment to the Department of Public Works. In 1842, Gzowski took up the post and, in 1846, he became a Canadian citizen.
He spent six years in the Department, becoming Superintendent and directing works ranging from highways and bridges to harbours and canals. Thus he gained a wide range of experience for the private contracting business to which he returned in 1848 — just as the new railway age was dawning for Canada. In particular, Gzowski linked up with one of the first big Canadian railway projects, the St. Lawrence and Atlantic, chartered in 1845, which would give Montréal year-round access to the ice-free Atlantic harbour of Portland, Maine. But building the line went very slowly until the Railway Guarantee Act, passed by the Canadian Legislature in 1849, guaranteed the bonds of new main rail lines. The St. Lawrence and Atlantic now moved into high gear with Gzowski as chief engineer. He surveyed most of the line, superintended its construction, and saw its triumphant completion by spring of 1853. Yet this was only the start of his own railway-building career.
The same year, 1853, he organized Gzowski and Company to seek a contract for the western section of the Grand Trunk — eventually the world’s longest railway of its day, running from Rivière-du-Loup on the Lower St. Lawrence to Sarnia on Lake Huron. Gzowski’s firm got the contract for the line between Toronto and Sarnia via Guelph, 172 miles in length. He had it built and open by late 1859 and, by then, he had also completed an extension from Port Huron (opposite Sarnia on the American shore) down to Detroit, where it linked with the Michigan Central which continued on to Chicago. Furthermore, to supply iron rails for these Grand Trunk routes — and for other rail companies as well — Gzowski and a partner, David Macpherson, set up the Toronto Rolling Mills in 1857, one of the first large heavy industries in that city where industrialization was fast growing with the railway age.
The Grand Trunk was virtually completed by 1860 but there were other rail contracts; thus the Rolling Mills thundered on. Gzowski was a wealthy man by now, a leading Toronto citizen with an elegant home where he, his wife, and eight children lived a busy family and social life. And he had other achievements as well: notably the building of the International Bridge for rail traffic over the Niagara River between Fort Erie and Buffalo. Carried out in 1871-73 by Gzowski and his partner, Macpherson, this was a difficult task of engineering as it had to solve the problems of gales off Lake Erie, fierce river currents, and winter ice jams piling against the bridge piers. Nonetheless, along with engineering and contracting, Gzowski found time for a keen interest in Canadian defence problems caused by border strains with the United States during and after the American Civil War. Drawing on his own military background, he backed militia rifle training and, from 1870 onwards, sent chosen Canadian teams to compete annually in England, often accompanying them himself. He was named a militia colonel on staff in 1873, aide-de-camp to the Queen in 1879, and was knighted in 1890 in recognition of his military and engineering services. As for the latter, Gzowski also led in organizing the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers, still an influential body. He was its president, 1889-91, and also the first chairman of the Niagara Parks Commission that planned the extensive park system that now graces the Canadian side of the river. When he died at 85 in 1898, Sir Casimir had introduced concepts and constructions that will long remain outstanding Canadian accomplishments.
