A public information session on the decommissioning of the Gorrie Dam has been postponed.
Officials with the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority say concerns surrounding COVID-19 has prompted the postponed of the public information meeting scheduled for January 14th and 15th, 2021.
According to an update from the MVCA, staff are considering options and, once a process for the public information session has been finalized, additional information will be posted.
Part of the earthen berm to the south of the dam failed in June of 2017, and conservation officials decided dam’s decommissioning was the best path forward.
Over the summer Maitland Conservation staff expect to meet with provincial representatives to review the conceptual plan and background information.
