A familiar sight on the Glenmore Reservoir won’t be there this year.
The SS Moyie at Heritage Park will remain in drydock because of upgrades to the Glenmore Dam.
Reservoir levels will be lowered and will be too shallow during the work for the boat to cruise the water.
Work includes a new gate system for the dam, which should provide more flexibility to manage reservoir storage levels during flood season.
Improvements also include a new bridge deck, improved access for pedestrians and cyclists.
It’s expected the work will be completed by 2019.
