Beveridge Locks, Drummond/North Elmsley

Interesting news for the Rideau Canal/Trent System:

2017 Navigation Season start delayed until May 26, 2017

Have you ever wondered what locks look like in winter? We've all seen them in summer. People travel, for pleasure, up and down all season. They shut them down in winter.
Here are the locks in summer sunshine last year!



They are doing maintenance on several locks, throughout the Rideau Canal Lock system. If you build it, you have to repair it! I'm kinda thinking they should fill them, to take down the flooding, but they are trying to repair them, I imagine.

Since then, the dams need refurbishing. They are pouring money into the canal:
Parks Canada spending $40M to shore up crumbling Rideau Canal.  I documented the work! There is a huge project on, I've written about the Poonamalie Locks, Narrows Locks,  Jones Pipes, Motts Mills, for example.
This is Beveridge Locks. They have 4 special cabins to rent, rather than the typical camping experience. There were several birds, flicker, for one. I didn't grab a photo.
