Minister Lebouthillier made the announcement at Cap-des-Caissie, one of the harbors receiving this funding. Over the next three years, this harbour will receive a new wharf, improvements to armourstone protection, basin dredging, and improvements to the containment cell, which hold sediment from dredging.
“ With Budget 2024, we’re giving ourselves the means to achieve our ambitions, by equipping our harvesters with modern harbors where their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will carry on our finest maritime traditions ,” said Minister Lebouthillier .
More than $23.5 million of this overall investment in New Brunswick will also be used to reconstruct and repair piers, breakwater and other critical harbour infrastructure at six harbors that sustained serious damage from Hurricane Fiona.
