Southern Gulf Island Aids to Navigation Rebuild

A condition review of the navigational aids in the Southern Gulf Islands has found that many of the structures are in poor condition, non-compliant to Canadian Coast Guard directives for service, and/or non-compliant to current Canadian standards for safety to the workers who maintain them. The sites are all accessible by small vessel.

The Canadian Coast Guard proposes to refurbish twenty one navigational aids in the Southern Gulf Islands. Of these twenty one aids 3 are located in the Gulf Island National Park. These three sites are subject to review under the Federal Lands Provision of the Impact Assessment Act. The Project will begin in late May and finish by the end of June, with work at the sites within the Gulf Island National Park Reserve starting Beginning of June.
