The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has given a commercial fishing wharf in Nova Scotia to a First Nations entity over objections from the local harbour authority.
Ownership of the Tickle Wharf in Canso was transferred this spring for $1 to the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi kmaw Chiefs.
As part of the handover, DFO spent $346,000 repairing the wharf in 2020.
The transfer was opposed by the Canso Harbour Authority, which manages the small but historic port on the province s Eastern Shore.
