Canada invests in Miminegash Small Craft Harbor project

Joanne Thompson, Minister of Fisheries, and Robert Morrissey, Member of Parliament for Egmont, has announced a major construction project at Miminegash Small Craft Harbor in Prince Edward Island (PEI).

This includes the reconstruction of the two southern breakwater structures (306 and 308), the shoreline protection structure (603) and the wharf (414). This work will improve safety, reliability, and climate resilience for harvesters and harbor users.

According to the Minister, the project will help make sure the harbor can continue to support the local fishing industry while creating jobs during construction.

This investment builds on the Government of Canada’s commitment announced in the 2026 Spring Economic Update, which is to invest nearly $1 billion over five years to repair, maintain and modernize small craft harbors across the country.
