The Trent-Severn Waterway’s dive team wants Parks Canada to reverse its decision to discontinue their responsibilities..
The federal agency took that action after a contract diver died doing work around Lock 1 near Trenton last October.. Former Divemaster Al Hoy says using contract divers who don’t know the waters like the team does doesn’t make sense.
Members of the local dive team, who will keep their jobs as Waterway employees, and their union, held a news conference in Peterborough to warn of potential negative impacts to public safety, tourism and cost to taxpayers.
