Parks Canada has now opened the Trent-Severn Waterway for the 2019 navigation season.
All lock stations are operational and lock staff are on hand to receive boaters as of Friday, May 24th at 9 a.m.
The start of the navigation season was previously scheduled for last Friday (May 17), but was delayed due to extreme high water levels and flows throughout the Trent-Severn Waterway, which caused unsafe boating conditions.
As water levels across the system are still higher than normal for this time of year, Trent-Severn Waterway staff will be conducting dam operations and increasing flows in the evening and night, outside of operating hours.
Parks Canada advises residents and visitors to exercise extra caution around and on the water.
