$3,269,400.00

Mar 13, 2025 - Mar 31, 2029

Description:

Located at 1675 Lower Water Street, the Boat School at the Maritime Museum will provide youth-empowering boatbuilding workshops and other programs for kids at risk from marginalized communities. The project will involve the construction of the Boat School building itself, along with its marine substructure and associated access ramps and floats. Uniquely built over the harbour, the building will be exposed to possible flooding and hurricanes and will therefore consider important climate resiliency and energy efficiency elements in its design and construction.
