Boaters will once again be able to pull up to a public dock at an existing boat launch area along the Rideau in Manotick this summer, according to the city councillor for the area. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said

that after talks between the City of Ottawa and Parks Canada, he expects a dock to be in place this summer. Moffatt said the city will go ahead and put a dock at the site after Parks Canada indicated it was willing to allow a dock to be reinstalled at the site on a temporary permit basis. Parks Canada used to oper-

removed in 2012 after the sale of the land to the city. The Manotick Village Community Association was approved to receive up to $23,350 from the city to build a dock at the site beside the Long Island Aquatic Club off South River Drive. But Parks Canada was unwilling, until recently, to allow a dock to be reinstalled at the site. Manotick Community Association president Klaus Beltzner told the Manotick News previously he understands Parks Canada’s safety concerns. “In my mind, I am personally in favour of going ahead with a one year trial, but we need to have the criteria for that trial. “We need someone to say, ‘look, these are the kinds of problems we will be looking at,’” Beltzner said.

ate its own dock at the site before the city bought land from the feds beside Bridge Street in 2011. “It looks pretty good that we can address any concerns they have. If there are any issues, they can be addressed fairly easily so we don’t have to remove the dock in the future,” Moffatt said of the temporary permit Parks Canada is willing to grant. The operation of the dock will then be reviewed regarding the safety of having a dock at that location. Moffatt said the city needs to get a dock that can be placed at the site. “The boating season is a good four months long, so I’m sure we can get this done (this season),” he said. The issue has been percolating in Manotick since Parks Canada’s dock was
