BEAUSOLEIL FIRST NATION — Beausoleil celebrated the launch of its new custom-built state-of-the-art ferry, the Niigaan Enaazhek, with a launch ceremony and on-board tour in early August.
“It’s been a long time coming and it finally arrived (on Aug. 8),” says Beausoleil Chief Joanne Sandy. “It’s about time that we got it. It was tendered out in 2019, and we are just getting it now. It’s not fully operational right now, we’re just waiting for Transport Canada’s guidelines and regulations with regards to the safe manning of the vessel.”
Chief Sandy says there are other matters to deal with to get the ferry operational.
