Timmins City Council has approved repairs for the piers and retaining wall at the Mattagami Boat Launch at a cost of $1,270,305 + HST. The work will be carried out this summer by R.M. Belanger Ltd.
The repairs were identified through structural investigations conducted in 2021 and again last year. The repairs include removal and replacement of the timber docking floor, curbs, concrete walls and foundations on the east pier, paving, light poles, and damaged guiderails. Cracks in the concrete launch pad will be repaired and structural modifications to the existing steel sheet pile wall will be implemented.
The Mattagami Boat Launch was closed to the public in 2023 pending repairs.
