Great news! Construction on the Keats Landing Dock project was completed yesterday, and the construction barge has now been removed from the site.  In the coming weeks, staff will be working with a professional engineer to complete the required sign-off so that vehicle traffic can be restored on the dock. 

The Stormaway Ferry Service will resume its regular schedule. 

The SCRD would like to thank the community for their patience and cooperation throughout the dock renovation process.  A further update will be provided once the dock is fully reopened to vehicle traffic. 

Workers will be on site completing modifications to the gangway on Tuesday, January 13 (weather permitting). Estimated timeframe of 9:00a.m. to 4:00p.m.   During this time, the gangway and float will be closed.

Please use caution when approaching the dock and be aware of work crews in the area surrounding the dock.  Follow all posted signage and instructions for your safety.

Please contact the SCRD Ports Division at 604-885-6800 if you have any questions or require more information.
