KAWARTHA LAKES- Staff spent the day cutting the grass and getting Lock 32 in Bobcaygeon ready to be shuttered for the season.
The locks are open from the May long weekend to the end of Thanksgiving every year. This year lockage was free in celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday.
The Trent-Severn Waterway is made up of 386 kilometres (210 miles) of interconnected lakes and rivers stretching through central Ontario. It is a National Hisotic site, founded in 1833 and has 44 locks.
The last boats went through the locks just before 5pm.
For many it’s a sure sign that the sun has set on another summer season. Although with the warmer than average temperatures you would never know it.
