Miners Bay dock re-alignment
Progress Report:  November 3, 2020:

At the Nov 27th Harbours Commission meeting where the 2021 budget was presented for approval, an update was provided on the Mayne Island docks.
  • Miners Bay re-alignment is due to commence work on Nov 30th and be completed in 2-3 weeks. This will see new pilings set to align the new dock so as to be less affected by the wake created from the BC Ferry Spirit class vessels.
  • Work on the new Anson Rd dock is commencing as we speak, with the land work that will provide for loading and some parking and lead to the installation of the actual docks during 2021.
  • The CRD has to address some budget issues before an actual date for completion can be provided, but suffice it to say that the work will be undertaken at the earliest possible date. The dock will provide for increased capacity of safe and secure moorage for vessels on a first come first served basis. Once it is completed, the future decommissioning of Horton Bay dock will be addressed.
  • Your AMIB dock committee will continue to monitor progress and provide feedback as available.
