Supporting new ferry service in Atlantic Canada
January 20, 2014 – Yarmouth, Nova Scotia – Transport Canada
The Government of Canada is investing up to $2.5 million for the rehabilitation of the Yarmouth Ferry Terminal and customs annex building. Today’s announcement follows the transfer of the ferry terminal property to the Town of Yarmouth in support of a new Yarmouth to Maine ferry service. The service is expected to be in operation this May. The funds will allow for the repainting of lines in the marshalling yard; the complete demolition of existing interiors to remove mould and debris and their rebuilding; the installation of new roofs and doors; and an upgrade to the electrical, communications, and heating systems.
