Illegal docks to be removed at Moyie Lake

The province will begin issuing trespass notices for multiple docks near the Moyie Lake Access starting sometime this week.

“Over the years, a number of trespass docks have been placed along the shoreline of Moyie Lake Access. Following a 30-day notice period, the Province will seize any remaining illegal docks,” said RDEK recreation and control services supervisor Jamie Davies.

“We are hoping to get the message out so that owners of the docks in question become aware, and so that the wider community understands where these notices are being issued and why. This enforcement by the Province only affects docks adjacent to Moyie Lake Access.”

The Moyie Lake access is considered an Electoral Area C park under the RDEK.

The foreshore is regulated by the province and the construction, placement and use of private moorage requires B.C. government authorization.
