$7.3-million sediment basin planned for Wood Islands ferry terminal
Published by BriefDash · · Toronto
Transport Canada awarded a $7.3-million contract to Quebec-based Sani-Sable for a land-based holding basin west of Prince Edward Island’s Wood Islands ferry terminal. The basin is intended to retain and filter sediment from routine dredging, addressing local concerns about sea disposal. Construction is expected to begin in November 2026 and finish before spring 2027 ferry service, without disrupting operations.
Why it matters
The project affects a seasonal ferry link between Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia and responds to coastal-community concerns about dredged sediment.
