In an open house presentation Feb. 9, Parks Canada staff will answer questions about the upcoming projects, including
- The rehabilitation of the walls, tunnels and valves at Lock 42 – Couchiching.
- The replacement of the Whites Portage Dam on Six Mile Lake.
- The rehabilitation of the Little Chute Dam “G” near Port Severn.
