| The MNRF has decided to postpone the decommissioning of the Turlte Portage Marine Railway System and allow for further public input on this matter. If interested in voicing your opinion please read the following..
The Future of the Turtle Portage Marine Railway System
Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Kenora District
The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), Kenora District, contacted stakeholders in September 2018 via mail-out, a newspaper ad and a sign posted at the Turtle Portage Marine Railway System located on the Aulneau Peninsula. These notices communicated to the public and Indigenous Communities the Ministry’s intent to decommission the railway system. A numberof comments and concerns were expressed regarding the proposed decommissioning.
In order to allow further public and stakeholder involvement, the MNRF has postponed the decision and is seeking additional input and potential options from the public, businesses and Indigenous Communities.
MNRF is inviting you to attend our open house public information sessions that will include a presentation on the history of operations at Turtle Portage and the challenges associated with the maintenance and operation of this system.
These are scheduled for the following dates:
Sioux Narrows Community Centre
August 14, 2019 4:00-6:00 pm
If you are unable to attend these sessions or require additional time to share your concerns, please contact us to arrange a meeting or send your written comments to:
