Basin Head wharf is now open to the public after a temporary closure last month due to structural damage.

Dredging of the channel is complete, barricades have been removed from the wharf and lifeguards are on duty.

“I appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding during the closure of Basin Head. We know it wasn’t great timing, but safety is our number one priority at our Provincial Parks.” said Matthew MacKay, minister of economic growth, tourism and culture.

MacKay thanks the staff at the department of infrastructure and energy for their leadership in quickly identifying the issues at the wharf and their federal counterparts for fixing the problem right away.

“The weather for this weekend looks fantastic, so I wish all Islanders and tourists visiting Basin Head a fun and safe time,” said MacKay.
