News - Quinte West - Parks Canada has agreed to attend the April 23 Economic Development and Revitalization Committee meeting to provide information on the waterways. “This will specifically relate to the seven locks in Quinte West,” noted Lisa Grills, supervisor of tourism and special events. She said representatives will also attend the grand opening on June 20 of the Trent Port Marina with presentations on boating through the lock system. Grills added that the docks are on schedule and will be fully functional by the long weekend, May 16. There have been 105 pre-registered boaters for the marina, including many from the GTA, drawn through marketing. Duncan Armstrong asked
if they were collecting data about where the boaters were coming from, specifically from other marinas. “There is a bit of everything,” Grills said. “The majority is from here: Hastings, Whitby, Cobourg, Brighton and several from Belleville.” Mayor Jim Harrison said they need to move as quickly as they can, with over 200 slips in place this year plus amenities. He noted the ice is still very thick. Doug Whitney said he hoped the ice is out by the time the Kiwanis fishing derby is here on May 1. Charlie Murphy said last year the ice was out by April 3. “I’m confident,” Murphy said. “The docks are already built. We have to wait until the ice is out then get them installed.” Whitney suggested they put out an old car on the ice Please see “Marina” on page 3
