Moose Lake Harbour Wharf and Dock Improvements
Official title: Moose Lake Harbour Improvements
Fisheries and Oceans Canada plans to upgrade the small craft harbour at Moose Lake, Manitoba. The project includes replacing two aging floating docks and building a new timber wharf for offloading fish. Local fishers need better facilities to safely unload their catch.
Why This Matters
If you're a fisher working out of Moose Lake, this directly affects your daily operations. The current docks are worn out and there's not enough space to offload safely. Better harbour infrastructure means less time waiting and fewer safety risks.
What Could Change
Two old floating docks will be demolished and replaced with slightly larger ones. A new timber crib wharf with an offloading platform will be built. Construction will be done by a contractor, likely causing some temporary disruption to harbour operations.
Key Issues
- Will the new wharf and dock improvements adequately meet fishers' needs?
- What environmental impacts might the construction have on the harbour area?
