MTM: Soo Locks Engineers Day Brings Crowds Up Close To Local Engineering Wonder

Posted: Updated:

The last Friday of June marks a very special day up in Sault Ste. Marie every summer.

It's engineers day, the one day a year the public is allowed to go beyond the security fence of the Soo Locks and cross the lock gates.

Thousands of people took part in this year's event, to get a behind the scenes glimpse of these local engineering marvels.

In addition to seeing the locks themselves, the crowds enjoyed watching many large boats "lock through."

Alex Jokich and Stephanie Adkins were LIVE there on Friday morning to kick off the annual up north tradition.
