Access will be limited to the Canal Park "out of an abundance of caution, in light of uncontrollable circumstances," according to a news release. Officials say access in and around active Soo Locks operations will not be open to the public during the event. They say the decision was made in conjunction with local, state and federal public safety partners. As part of the limitations, the U.S. Coast Guard will be participating but will not hold an open house. "We acknowledge this is disappointing and acknowledge the importance of this event to the community, which is why we coordinated closely with our public safety partners to permit the event to still take place," said Soo Locks operations manager LeighAnn Ryckeghem in a statement. "All public activities and displays will be concentrated within Canal Park which includes the observation platform to view vessels and the visitor center."
