A project to install docks and boat launches along the North Saskatchewan River aims to improve public access to the water.
“The docks are intended … to give people a chance to see the river up close and touch the river,” said Larry Wall, executive director of the River Valley Alliance. He said the project will complement existing boat launches in Fort Saskatchewan and Devon to create a continuous water pathway.
The $2-million project is funded through the River Valley Alliance and Building Canada Fund. It’s part of a larger push to develop the river valley — in 2013, the city received almost $73 million in funding from the provincial and federal governments.
