The Proposed Project

Gimli Harbour, Manitoba is located in the town of Gimli, approximately 90km north of Winnipeg, MB. The harbour is an active commercial fishing facility on the West side of Lake Winnipeg under the administration of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Small Craft Harbours Branch (SCH).

The work area at Gimli Harbour is approximately 550 m². The work will be done in frozen water conditions and is scheduled for the winter of 2021/22.
