Some time ago, the 300th Anniversary Team applied for $500,000 in capital funds from Heritage Canada and we are still waiting to hear the result. At the same time, the Wharf Association and the community continue to make applications and seek new sources of funds. There is an "Ultimate Fishing Town" competition on the go that is worth $25,000.00 in prize money. To nominate the Town, just go to www.wfn.tv/fishingtown. In the coming weeks and months, the fundraising team for the Annapolis Royal Wharf Association will be approaching all businesses, fishers and residents in the area about making a financial contribution to the Waterfront Development Project.

The future of our public wharf depends on community support so please consider what you might be able to contribute towards the project. The feasibility study and five-year business plan for the waterfront development project may be viewed at Town Hall 8:30am to 4:30pm Monday to Friday. Questions about the project may be directed to Wharf Association President Adrian Nette.

Wharf Extension Survey

The Annapolis Royal Wharf Association and the Town of Annapolis Royal have requested our assistance to prepare a feasibility plan and business plan for the proposed expansion of the Annapolis Royal Town Wharf. This $2 million plus project will be a significant undertaking for the Town, and as stakeholders and business people, we are seeking your suggestions, comments and input to assist us in dealing with the various levels of government and making this project a reality.

We are proposing a closed cell system of construction for the new wharf extension, similar to the existing structure, for maximum protection from wave action and storms. The face of the wharf will extend about 75 feet further into the Basin, which would effectively allow vessels of 45 to 50 foot length to use the facility at low tide. There would be a floating marina section, which would also allow pleasure craft owners to utilize the facility while vacationing in Annapolis Royal.

If you have any suggestions or comments, please email the town at marketing@annapolisroyal.com.

We thank you for your time and valuable comments.
