The Burritt’s Rapids Tip-To-Tip Trail is set to close for a few weeks.
Parks Canada says the closure, in place for the removal of trees and vegetation and to inspect the dam, will be in effect from Oct. 19 to Oct. 27.
The same area will close again for one week in November for waterside erosion protection with the exact dates to be determined.
The work is part of the ongoing earth dam repair project, which has been underway for the past few years and planned in accordance with an environmental assessment.
New vegetation will include native plant seeds to support birds, bees, and species at risk, such as the Monarch butterfly, while ensuring future inspection access is not impeded.
For the safety of the public and the construction teams, access to the area will be restricted during these periods.
