Funding for an Additional Small Craft Harbour Project to Benefit Fishermen in New Brunswick
(firmenpresse) - SEAL COVE, NEW BRUNSWICK -- (Marketwired) -- 04/02/13 -- John Williamson, Member of Parliament for New Brunswick Southwest, on behalf of the Honourable Keith Ashfield, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, announced today the completion of a $200,000 improvement project at the small craft harbour in Seal Cove, New Brunswick.
"Our wharves are an extension of our highways and they ensure seafood products get from the ocean to markets throughout North America," said John Williamson. "This project in Seal Cove will help ensure the Grand Manan fishing community continues to contribute to the Atlantic Canadian economy."
"Safe and efficient fishing harbours are critical to those who make their living from the fishery," said Minister Ashfield. "The project we are announcing today will improve the safety and operational efficiency of this harbour. Our Government continues to invest in coastal communities and prepare Canada's fishing industry for the future."
This work was in addition to major projects and dredging work being carried out at approximately 95 fishing harbours throughout the country, . The $200,000 investment was in support of electrical upgrades at the Seal Cove harbour, which will mean substantial improvements to safety and the working environment for fishermen.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada undertakes such 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.
