PUBLIC NOTICE

ATTENTION ALL RESIDENTS IN PORT BRUCE

Catfish Creek Conservation Authority, request the co-operation of Port Bruce residents to remove all seasonal docks and support structures from the waters of Catfish Creek by December 15, 2023.  This request is to assist in reducing potential impacts as a result of flooding and/or in channel ice build-up.

Leaving obstructions in the channel could accelerate ice build-up and adversely influence the movement of in channel ice through Port Bruce.  Channel flow patterns around obstructions may also accelerate creek-bank erosion during high run-off periods.  Boat docks dislodged due to flooding or ice jam events can pose a serious safety threat to the public.  In addition, we request that all other floatable objects such as; picnic tables, propane tanks, barrels, etc. are removed or secured within flood prone areas.

Further inquiries relative to this matter may be directed to the attention of Mr. Peter Dragunas,

Water Management Technician, Catfish Creek Conservation Authority, (519-773-9037 EXT 19).

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
