The $100,000 would come out of the parks reserve fund, with the remainder being included in the 2027 budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tina Scott-Burns, Manager of Parks &amp; Cemeteries for the Town, told councillors that staff were hoping to apply for a grant\/s that could bring down the cost to the municipality by half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work, based on a comprehensive inspection conducted by Ellis Engineering Inc. last year, would be split as follows: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Phase 1: 2026<\/strong> &#8211; These smaller repairs could be completed without having to close the Locks in 2026. An engineer would be engaged to perform the design work and provide contract administration and engineering services throughout the project, noted Scott-Burns in her report.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Replace Cover Plate Bolts at Access Shafts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replace Anchor Bolts at Valve Brackets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replace Timber Lock Gate Seals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drill Holes in Vertical Steel Posts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reconstruct Interlocking Brick Walkways   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Phase 2: 2027<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clean and Coat Structural Steel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replace Northwest Timber Retaining Wall<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replace Southwest Timber Retaining Wall<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replace Southeast Timber Retaining Wall<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visual Inspection &#8211; above-water portions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comprehensive Inspection of Structure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Scott-Burns noted that the more significant repairs would be done during Phase 2 and would result in the closure of the Brunel Lift Locks for the 2027 season. Below is a summary of boat traffic at the Locks in 2025, broken down by month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"259\" height=\"214\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/01\/32pT6Pt6-image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-214479\" style=\"width:282px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Huntsville Councillor Bob Stone expressed concern. He spoke to the traffic numbers in 2025 and said that presumably the number of trips involves going to and from a specific destination. &#8220;So logically, 240 people use the Locks 480 times.&#8221; He said he struggles with the cost, and while he agrees with the park component, he questioned the high cost of repairing the Locks for the small number of users. &#8220;I have no trouble with the $100,000 in the 2026 budget, but I don&#8217;t think I can commit to anything beyond that, myself,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Monty Clouthier reminded councillors that earlier in their term, council tried reducing hours at the Locks as a cost-saving measure, and it didn&#8217;t work due to the backlash. &#8220;So to come and say &#8216;OK we&#8217;re not going to have Locks there anymore&#8230;&#8217; is going against our word that we&#8217;ve already said that we&#8217;re going to use them.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clouthier said the Locks are a historic part of Huntsville. &#8220;It&#8217;s part of our heritage and heritage costs money.&#8221; He said the issue related to repairs keeps getting pushed forward. &#8220;I think we have to make the decision to get this done before things start falling in the water on us&#8230; I&#8217;m fully, fully supportive of doing what has to be done,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deputy Mayor Dan Armour agreed. He said he is hopeful that the municipality can secure grant money and said he supports the project. Councillor Helena Renwick agreed that the Locks is a historic component of Huntsville and said council needs to definitely look at grants and its repair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Huntsville Mayor Nancy Alcock said she understands Stone&#8217;s concerns, but also said it is part of Huntsville&#8217;s heritage. She also suggested a communication strategy to increase its usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Cory Clarke said he supports spending the $100,000 as part of the 2026 budget. He also recalled when council tried to cut back Lock hours. &#8220;I think through that whole process we realized how important the Locks really are to our community and the residents, so I think it&#8217;s important that we look after what we own.&#8221; He said applying for grants is an important part of the project, and said hopefully the municipality is successful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Dione Schumacher also said she was comfortable with spending the $100,000 and said the cost of the project could decrease with grants. She also suggested that more opportunities could be generated to increase usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stone said he does not disagree that the Locks is part of Huntsville&#8217;s heritage. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s part of who we were and who we are. I think it&#8217;s politically easy to say &#8216;we&#8217;ll talk about it in the next term.&#8217; We&#8217;ve also been elected to be fiscally responsible, too, and two million dollars is a huge amount of public funds, so I struggle with it. If the motion is to approve Phase 1 and propose Phase 2 in the budget for next term, then I can go along wih that but when it comes right down to it, if we don&#8217;t get the 50 per cent grant, at that time, if I&#8217;m still around, I don&#8217;t know that I could stomach that big number&#8230;,&#8221; he said<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Jason FitzGerald, and chair of that portion of the meeting, reminded councillors that they were voting only for Phase 1, up to $100,000 from the parks reserve fund. In the end, councillors unanimously voted in favour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to dig deeper?
