Commercial Fishery Looking For a Permanent Home

Local fisherman are a step closer to finding a permanent home.

Ottawa has handed over two hundred thousand dollars to look into where the best location is to set up a dock.

John Mcdade is President of the Saint John Community Harbour Authority and says the site they are exploring is Pier 14, just north-west of the Bay Ferries Terminal.


Right now, fisherman are using Long Wharf slip and Peir Three on the West Side which is working for now but is hampering productivity.
