Cortes Community Docks has had a very busy winter. The projects in Whaletown and Squirrel Cove are nearing completion, and a new one is about to begin in Cortes Bay. Cortes Community Docks has a new website, and all the railings on its docks have been painted blue as a visible reminder that they are not a government organization.

“We never have been. These docks are here for the community, they’re utilized by the community and they’re supported by the community,” explained Harbour Manager Jenny Hartwick.
