Notice by Parks Canada: Parks Canada is advising the public that consultations are now underway on a Notice of Mooring Restrictions that is planned to come into effect on May 1, 2024, related to the mooring of floating accommodations on the Trent-Severn Waterway.
Under the notice, most of the current mooring provisions on the waterway will remain the same. The current regime for mooring at Ontario Waterway Lockstations will remain unchanged. Shoreline owners may continue to moor their vessels adjacent to their properties without the requirement for a mooring permit. Mooring of vessels at licenced marinas will not require a permit.
The notice will allow Parks Canada greater management control over floating accommodations in a way that is consistent with recent changes to the Province of Ontario’s regulations.
The Notice of Mooring Restriction is posted on the Consulting with Canadians website for a 31-day comment period between March 7, 2024, and April 7, 2024, and can be found at the following link:
