More than a week after a barge ran aground near Victoria during an intense windstorm, there is still no timeline for the vessel's removal.
The cement barge, known as Metlakatla I, broke free of its tow cable and drifted onto the rocks at McLoughlin Point on the evening of Nov. 29, as high seas forced the cancellation of multiple ferry sailings in the region.
Transport Canada says Lafarge Canada, which owns the barge, has conducted a damage assessment on the vessel to determine what actions are required to safely refloat the vessel."The particular details regarding the recovery of the barge are the purview of the owner's representative and the timing of the removal remains to be confirmed," Transport Canada spokesperson Sau Sau Liu said.
Lafarge Canada confirmed it was still forming its salvage plan Wednesday with no firm recovery timeline in place.

‘Procedural cat-fishing’: final proposal for Nova Scotia riding redraw raises ireThe final proposed new federal riding boundaries for Nova Scotia have caught at least one MP by surprise, with Sydney–Victoria Liberal MP Jaime Battiste saying the late-stage decision to significantly shrink and redraw his riding—removing Mi’kmaw communities in the process—without proper consultation is “deeply concerning” and goes against the principals of reconciliation. “I was absolutely shocked, actually, and deeply concerned,” Battiste told The Hill Times about seeing the federal riding boundaries put forward in the Nova Scotia redistribution commission’s final proposal, which was tabled in the House of Commons on Nov. 17. “The most recent map is a total deviation from what they originally proposed. To me, it felt very much like procedural cat-fishing,” said Battiste, who is a Mi’kmaq from Potlotek First Nation. “Taking an entire Mi’kmaw community out … without consultation is not consistent with reconciliation and is not consistent with the fiduciary duty that we owe to communities, and not consistent with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People that requires full, prior, and informed consent before any kind of administrative bodies make decisions affecting their rights.” In the commission’s first proposal in April, the Nova Scotia riding of Sydney–Victoria had been left untouched. Currently, it includes the entire county of Victoria, and stretches from Cape Breton Highlands National Park, around much of Bras d’Or Lake—capturing the Eskasoni Mi’kmaw Nation, Wagmatcook First Nation, and other communities—to just past the city of Sydney.
