Cruising the Rideau Canal and Trent-Severn Waterway: Chad Buchner, Trent-Severn Waterway Manager of Canal Operations and former Lockmaster invites you to travel with confidence as he demystifies navigating the lakes and locks of the Trent-Severn Waterway and Rideau Canal.
Chad began his career with Parks Canada as a student at the Peterborough Lift Lock on the Trent-Severn Waterway in 1999. The son of a Lockmaster, he followed in the family tradition when he became the youngest Lockmaster on the Trent-Severn Waterway at the age of 25. He is now Manager of Operations for the Trent-Severn Waterway. Chad balances his career at Parks Canada with an active family life that includes teaching his three young children the art of boating, fishing and in the winter months how to skate while mentoring them in becoming avid Maple Leaf fans!
