City of Ottawa Eccolands Boat Launch Rehabilitation

The project is the rehabilitation of the existing public boat launch at Eccolands Park which provides access to the Rideau Canal. The project involves removing the existing launch ramp and replacing it with a double lane, pre-cast and cast in place concrete boat launch.
