Funding for Additional Small Craft Harbours Projects to Benefit Fishermen
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/02/13 -- The Honourable Keith Ashfield, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, announced today that the federal government is investing approximately $2.3 million for additional repair and improvement projects at small craft harbours across Canada.
This work is in addition to major projects and dredging work being carried out at approximately 95 fishing harbours throughout the country, .
"Safe and efficient fishing harbours are critical to those who make their living from the fishery," said Minister Ashfield. "The projects we are announcing today will improve the safety and operational efficiency of several harbours across the country. Our Government continues to invest in coastal communities and prepare Canada's fishing industry for the future."
The projects involve small craft harbour facilities at the following locations:
Initial dredging operations are being carried out at harbours in the Gaspe Peninsula and the Magdalen Islands.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada undertakes these projects in cooperation with the local harbour authorities that manage and operate facilities for local users. Close cooperation between the Department and harbour authorities allows the federal government to continue to provide an operable system of harbours and facilities throughout Canada in support of the commercial fishing industry.
The Government of Canada remains focused on four priorities, as outlined by the Prime Minister, that Canadians care most about: their families, the safety of our streets and communities, their pride in being a citizen of this country, and of course, their personal financial security.
