In the Gaspé Peninsula, the upcoming investments and works under the SCH Program totalling more than $18 million include six major projects:
“Fishing is a crucial hub in many communities across Canada, including our own, in the Gaspé Peninsula, the Magdalen Islands and the North Shore – which is why it’s important to support our local fishermen and communities with quality, well maintained harbour infrastructure,” said Diane Lebouthillier , Minister of National Revenue and MP for Gaspésie─Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
In the Magdalen Islands, more than $8 million will be available for six major projects, at the harbours of Grande-Entrée, Havre-Aubert, Île d’Entrée, Millerand, Cap-aux-Meules and Pointe-aux-Loups.
“Investments in Canada’s small craft harbours demonstrate the Government’s commitment to local economies and communities. By ensuring the safety, accessibility and good condition of our national system of small craft harbours, we continue to support the fishing industry so that it, in turn, can continue to play its important role in Canada’s economy and its recovery from the pandemic,” commented Bernadette Jordan , Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard.
As for the North Shore, the financial assistance and work under the SCH Program will amount to nearly $9 million, and will target four main projects, at the harbours of Blanc-Sablon, Les Escoumins, Sept-Îles and Rivière-au-Tonnerre.
Finally, an investment of $550,000 is planned to inspect non-core harbours across the province and address some safety issues.
