“In Acadian Peninsula communities, where the fishing industry is part of the daily fabric of society, small craft harbours play a significant role. Our Government is pleased to invest in these facilities to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the commercial fishing industry and stimulate local economies. These investments are important to support local commercial fisheries and the future of Acadian Peninsula communities,” said Ms Shea.
