It’s been a wet and rainy June so far across the region.
Parks Canada has released a new update, following a decision early this week to temporary close some locks along the Trent-Severn Waterway.
Staff announced in a statement Friday night, that more locks along the waterway will be temporarily closed due to high water levels and flows.
The impacted areas are now across the Quinte region.
Lock 1 in Trenton through to Lock 18 in Hastings will all be temporarily closed starting this Monday. As of yesterday, Lock 19, Lock 22 to Lock 27 are already closed.
Parks Canada notes that in the last 20 days, the watershed has seen roughly double the amount of rain than what is typically expected.
Here’s the new map from Parks Canada that outlines the new status of locks.
