Canada's New Government Invests in Safety for the Cornwall (Marina 200) Harbour Facility

News Release

March 28, 2007
CORNWALL, ONTARIO -- Guy Lauzon, Member of Parliament for Stormont-Dundas-South
Glengarry, announced today on behalf of the Honourable Loyola Hearn, Minister of
Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), that Canada's New Government will invest in safety-related
repair work to the west wharf structure at the Small Craft Harbours recreational
harbour facility in Cornwall, Ontario.
"The harbour is of great importance to the community in Cornwall," said Mr. Lauzon.
"Federal funding assistance demonstrates the government's commitment to address
safety requirements at the harbour facility."
The safety-related repair work to the west wharf structure is currently under
way and consists of removing all of the existing decking as well as the deteriorated
wood support structure and frame, and assembling a new wooden support structure
that will be anchored further up the west bank. Small Craft Harbours' participation
in this project will mainly consist of the purchase of materials for the repair
work which will be completed prior to the upcoming boating season.
This project is being undertaken by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Small
Craft Harbours Program in collaboration with the City of Cornwall, which manages
and operates the facility for the benefit of local users.
