OTTAWA—A trade route connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean is expected to reopen on Monday after a tentative deal was struck to end a week-long strike by Canadian workers on the St. Lawrence Seaway.

The nonprofit company that operates the Canadian side of the seaway reached a wage deal Sunday with Unifor, the trade union representing 360 workers who operate lock systems, bridges and other infrastructure along the Canadian side of the seaway.
