Parks Canada Closes Most of Rideau Due to High Water Levels
Wednesday July 26, 2017 - 3:07 pm
Published By: Jonathan Lee
Parks Canada says the decision was taken after careful consideration of the current situation and is in order to ensure visitor safety.
Boaters within the canal are asked to stay moored until further notice.
All visitors are encouraged to always exercise caution around water but especially now with the current elevated water levels and flows.
Parks Canada says it would like to thank the public for its patience and cooperation at this time while its team works hard to manage water on the system.
Updates will be available daily through Parks Canada's social media channels.
