Shediac Bay marina receives infrastructure upgrades

From: Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency

News release

$600,000 in federal and provincial investments will help to enhance visitor experience

August 13, 2021 · Shediac, New Brunswick · Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA)

Atlantic Canadian organizations and operators continue to develop fresh approaches and innovative ways to overcome pandemic challenges, grow for the future, and deliver world-class experiences. That is why the Government of Canada invested to help Shediac Bay Yacht Club Ltd. successfully rebuild its water infrastructure to meet current needs and prepare for the future.

Project will allow the marina to weather future storms  

Today, the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, President of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, announced an investment of $300,000 to the Shediac Bay Yacht Club. The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages and Minister responsible for ACOA.

The Province of New Brunswick also contributed $300,000 toward the project through the Regional Development Corporation.

These investments helped the yacht club revamp the anchoring and dock systems, the marina layout, and breakwater. This project will ensure long-term sustainability of the facility and promote greater tourism-related economic benefits for the region.

Today’s announcement further demonstrates the Government of Canada’s commitment to help communities build on their strengths and seize opportunities for sustainable economic growth.

“The Government of Canada is committed to boosting local tourism and promoting Atlantic Canada’s unique places, experiences and organizations. Investing in the tourism assets of rural communities will help them attract more visitors, create jobs and grow local economies.” -  The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages and Minister responsible for ACOA

“We are focused on diversifying the economies of Atlantic communities by investing in projects like this one. By supporting the yacht club, we are helping Shediac Bay take advantage of the community’s many strengths, assets and opportunities. - The Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, President of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs

“Investing in infrastructure projects like this is part of our government’s priority to build vibrant and sustainable communities in rural New Brunswick. This facility is important to the local tourism industry and will help contribute to the province’s overall economic recovery now that it is completed.” - Honourable Gary Crossman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for the Regional Development Corporation

“As a not-for-profit organization, we don’t necessarily have all the resources to complete such a huge rebuild project in a very short time frame. Board members and management worked tirelessly for the past two years to make this a reality, and without this funding, it would have been almost impossible to rebuild. We now have a state-of-the-art marina to accommodate 200 boats of all sizes, with improved infrastructure like 50 amp electrical and Wi-Fi. The marina certainly has a very positive economic impact on the local tourism industry.” - Commodore Hughes Arseneau, Shediac Bay Yacht Club

Two hurricanes and a global pandemic may have set the Shediac Bay Yacht Club (SBYC) back a few times, but each time they’ve come back stronger.

The SBYC was first incorporated in 1933, which existed as a mooring field until the early 1980s when the marina was built. The club continued on as it was until 2010, when a storm surge destroyed a large amount of the club’s infrastructure. By the spring of 2011, work began to replace or upgrade the club’s docks, gangways, electrical systems, pedestals, boat slips and pumping station.

All was well in Shediac until 2019 when Hurricane Dorian tore through the area and devastated the marina at the SBYC.

In the wake of Dorian, the club members gathered to determine their best course of action. Not to be deterred by a bad stroke of luck, the club decided to build the SBYC marina back to what it was and reinforce it to weather future storms.

 “The membership was on board with that,” said O’Brien. “We had all the engineering done, we put our financing together, we put all kinds of applications to different government agencies from the province and the federal government to try to help us; we’re a non-profit organization, so funds are not unlimited.”

Funds being as tight as they were, the yacht club was under a time crunch to have their marina back in order by the next season to begin generating revenue. Winter, however, presented challenges to repairing a marina that needed to be surmounted, only for a much larger problem to rear its head.

“The challenge was to build an anchoring system during the winter months on the ice, which had never been seen, so we found a contractor who was able to do it and they did a super job,” said O’Brien. “So that was done over the winter, and we head into March, then COVID hits.”

As the regular day-to-day of the world came to a halt, the SBYC suffered further delays in their rebuilding journey. The club was able to finally reopen its doors about a month behind schedule on June 26, 2020.

“We’d come quite a long way, and it’s been quite dramatic for everybody. A few people lost their boats totally plus having all of the water infrastructure totally destroyed — it’s not a pleasant experience,” said O’Brien.

As the old adage goes, bad luck comes in threes. This would hold true for the SBYC, who fell victim to Mother Nature once again when Hurricane Fiona made landfall in Atlantic Canada in 2022.

“It was mostly the flooding that hurt us. Our water infrastructure that we had rebuilt after Dorian; that was left intact. We didn’t have any damage whatsoever,” said O’Brien. “But the water came right up. In my office, I probably had about a foot and a half of water.”

As of 2023, the SBYC and their 150-person membership are back in service with what O’Brien described as a “top-notch facility.” Their new marina is one of two Blue Flag certified marinas in Atlantic Canada by the Foundation for Environmental Education, which highlights its dedication to environmental protection and education. The marina features services from 8:00 a.m. to midnight, in which members and transient boaters can take advantage of the club’s laundromat facility, showers, black water pumping station and seven-and-a-half-tonne stationary crane.

The SBYC provides berthage for over 200 vessels of up to 60 feet, with 15, 20 and 30-amp power available. The club also serves as the marine gateway to the region, thanks to its close proximity to Shediac’s restaurants, hotels and other tourist attractions. Many travellers doing the Great Loop, which takes boaters up the Eastern Seaboard, into the Great Lakes and down the rivers and canals of America’s heartland.

“We do get quite a few boats that do the Great Loop. This year, we’ve had about four or five boats from Florida that were on their way back,” said O’Brien. “We also have people that are going down to the Caribbean from Québec or Ontario. The advantage we have here at the yacht club is we’re close by downtown. We’re about half a kilometre to downtown, where you have restaurants, hotels, pharmacies, grocery stores, hardware stores and everything.”

Despite all the setbacks the SBYC has experienced since 2019, O’Brien and the club’s membership are looking toward the future instead of dwelling on the past.

“We’re just continuing to improve things as we move,” said O’Brien.

Shediac Bay Yacht Club’s marina saw significant damages from 2019’s Hurricane Dorian.

Sail in the Bay of Shediac, New Brunswick

Shédiac, Nouveau-Brunswick

Description

Added by Do Gaudet

Shediac, the small coastal town in southeastern New Brunswick, is one of the nautical gems of the province. It has a beautiful Provincial Beach, more than enough lobster shacks to satisfy any foodie, and is a marvelous sailing playground.

It's not a secret anymore, the town of Shediac in New Brunswick is home to the warmest salt waters north of the Carolinas. The Northumberland Strait passes between Prince Edward Island and the southeastern coast of New Brunswick, bringing its warm current to heat up the beach. From June to September, the water is calm and the wind comes around softly, making the Strait and the Bay of Shediac a great sailing destination. 

There are two marinas in Shediac, the Yacht Club, and Pointe-du-Chêne. Both offer different a kind of lifestyle, with their seafood restaurants, sailing and speedboat crews, and their fisherman looking for seabass and mackerel on the docks. From any of those marinas, you'll just have to follow the buoys out of the canal and you'll be ready to set up your sails within minutes. 

Once  in the bay, you can pitch an anchor to enjoy a little swimming or fishing, or simply to relax over a refreshing drink. You could also sail north to Cocagne Island or east to Cap Pelé for a beautiful day on the water. If you have time, wait for the sun to set on the horizon before getting back to the marina. 

If you don't have access to a sailor and their boat, but you still want a glimpse of the Bay of Shediac, you can always enroll in a Lobster Bay Tour with a local company.

Blue Flags awarded to 20 beaches and nine marinas in Canada for 2023 — Swim Drink Fish

Cleanest Beaches and Marinas in a in 2022

Published by to do canada on may 31, 2022.

22 beaches and 10 marinas were awarded the prestigious Blue Flag Canada award this year.

Blue Flag is an international award given to beaches and marinas that meet high environmental,

safety, and cleanliness standards.

The Blue Flag program in Canada is administered by Swim Drink Fish and is one of 47 National Operators in the Blue Flag International network.

To be certified , “A Blue Flag beach must have at least one sampling point, which must be located where the concentration of bathers is highest. In addition, where there are potential sources of pollution, e.g. near streams, rivers or other inlets, stormwater outlets, etc. additional sampling points must be established at these sites to provide evidence that such inflows do not affect bathing water quality. The beach must comply with the Blue Flag requirements for the microbiological parameter Escherichia coli (fecal coli bacteria) and intestinal enterococci (streptococci).”

Out of 32 beaches and marinas, 25 are in Ontario , 3 each in Quebec and New Brunswick and 1 in Nova Scotia.
