A trio of new signs B次元官网网址� two in Saanich, one in Oak Bay B次元官网网址� promise to improve response times whenever derelict vessels wash up on the shores of Cadboro Bay beach.
The signs include contact information for the Canadian Coast Guard and represent an early success for Cadboro Bay Task Force,
Derelict or abandoned boats frequently wash up in Cadboro Bay, a popular recreation and boating area, one of the busiest beaches in the Greater Victoria region, if not Vancouver Island, with multiple jurisdictions claiming some measure of jurisdiction.
One side of the beach falls within Saanich, the other side within Oak Bay. The ocean floor is provincial responsibility, the water above it federal responsibility.
While the signs wonB次元官网网址檛 simplify this jurisdictional complexity, they will allow residents to call in washed up boats quicker, thereby lowering response times, and improving the odds of preventing serious environmental disasters.
Funding for the signs came from the District of Saanich.
