Transportation Blackout Dates

Notice To Community, Contractors, and Leaseholders

We have recently experienced a significant increase in ferry usage due to ongoing construction and higher travel volumes. To ensure smooth operations and prioritize community needs, Chief and Council have designated the following blackout dates for construction vehicles, including contractor vehicles, on the Aazhaawe ferry.

Please note:

No construction vehicles will be permitted on the Aazhaawe ferry during these dates, except in emergencies with prior consent.

Security has been informed, and signage will be posted. We kindly ask that you plan accordingly to avoid delays or being turned away unexpectedly.

Blackout Dates for Construction Vehicles:

  • Monday of Family Day weekend
  • Friday and Monday of Easter weekend
  • Friday of May Victoria Day weekend
  • Friday and Monday of Labour Day weekend
  • Friday of Thanksgiving weekend
  •  December 19–27 (Christmas holidays)

Additionally, no hauling will be permitted on Fridays during June, July, and August. This means oversized trucks and deliveries will not have access to the ferry on those Fridays throughout the summer.

Miigwech for your understanding.

Chief and Council
