Stop Mega Yacht Marina in Victoria Harbour

Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament Assembled, B.C. Provincial Legislature, and Mayor & Council City of Victoria


We, the undersigned concerned citizens are strongly opposed to an application by Community Marine Concepts Group to acquire a lease on a 6.42 acre (2.6 hectares) water lot currently owned by the Province of British Columbia on the north shore of Victoria's Inner Harbour to build a private Mega Yacht Marina. If the lease is granted, it would remove this valuable natural heritage asset from the public domain putting it in the private domain of a developer for the exclusive use of up to 55 mega-yacht owners while creating safety and access concerns for a wide range of existing harbour users.

That the entire north side of Victoria Harbour is the only remaining area where there is no development along the waterfront.  Its miles of parkland and pathways are enjoyed by thousands of walkers who admire the harbour and distant mountain views while observing the wildlife that flourish on the waterfront. The priceless benefits of this natural urban asset accessible to all will be lost forever if the project proceeds.

That government review of this proposal has not included broad,accessible and transparent public consultation.

Therefore, we, the undersigned petitioners, oppose this proposed development and request that Parliament, the Legislature, and the City of Victoria deny approval of the Marina application.
