Federal Government Begins Restoration of West Whitby Pier in January

Residents are advised of upcoming temporary parking lot and trail closures being implemented as a result of restoration work being undertaken by the Federal Government’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada to the West Whitby Pier. The work could start as soon as January 1, 2022 and is expected to be complete by spring 2022.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada is completing and fully funding the work to:

• strengthen and maintain the existing structure; and,
• repair the outdated pier, which is not for pedestrian use but rather serves as an important break wall to protect the harbour from damaging waves.

The following lot and trail closures will be implemented to support this work:

• the closure of the public parking lot next to Lions Promenade Park – visitors looking to enjoy the waterfront can park at the public lot on Water Street across from the pump-house.
• the closure of the Whitby Waterfront Trail through Promenade Lake Park – for their own safety, residents are required to obey posted signage and remain outside the construction area during the closure.
