Fisheries and Oceans Canada plans to rebuild the boat launching ramp at Cap-Pelé small craft harbour. The old concrete and timber ramp is deteriorating and will be replaced with a new concrete ramp about 10 metres east of the current location...
Why This Matters: Use the boat ramp at Cap-Pelé harbour? It'll be out of service during construction. Local fishers and recreational boaters will need to plan around the 10-12 week closure. Once complete, the new ramp should be safer and more reliable.

Why This Matters: Live near the Fraser River in Surrey? Construction noise could affect you for 3-4 weeks. The project also involves dumping dredged sediment at sea, which raises questions about what's in that material.
