Victoria, BC -- Beginning on Monday August 29, 2011, the Victoria International Marina team will be conducting geotechnical testing on the proposed marina location.

The testing is expected to be carried out over five or six days, during which time a barge will be located on the site. The barge will arrive on site this afternoon (Sunday).

VICTORIA, BC -- WAM Development Group and its Community Marine Concepts Ltd. partnership has received approval from BC’s Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations for a seabed lease where it can build docks for the Victoria International Marina.

“This is an important step in the approval process that will soon bring one of the most modern, environmentally-friendly and beautiful marina projects in the world to Victoria’s middle harbour,” said Lachlan MacLean, Vice-President of WAM Development Group.

VICTORIA, BC – At the request of Transport Canada, Victoria International Marina (VIM) will be running a final round of print advertisements in local print media. The advertisements, which will appear in the first week of February, request public comment on the navigational impact of the marina. All feedback is to be sent directly to Transport Canada by March 7^th for consideration.

On behalf of WAM Development Group, I would like to extend a sincere thank you to those who have supported the proposed Victoria International Marina to date. Your letters and voices, particularly in regard to the public hearing that took place on Tuesday, September 7, 2010, are greatly appreciated.

While Victoria City Council voted to rezone the 2.63-hectare water lot, thus limiting the area where wharves, piers and other structures can be placed, we remain committed to the site.
