Town of Percé to take over wharf
Back in the spring, we had a dramatic conversation with the mayor of Percé, who, after months of petitioning the federal government for money for repairs to the town's wharf, had just discovered a barrier had been erected at the wharf's entry.
The wharf was in bad shape, and Fisheries & Oceans had decided to ban access for security reasons. The town's mayor Bruno Cloutier was frustrated with the situation, and said he would go knock down the barrier himself with a backhoe.
There's been a recent development in this story. Mayor Cloutier dropped by our studios the mayor himself, who was town for a meeting of Quebec municipalities.

Part 3: Gaspé Wharves
The Ste-Thérèse-de-Gaspé harbour is one of the busiest in the region. The port authority is sounding the alarm, saying unless action is taken soon, 900 jobs and the long-term health of the harbour is at risk. Quebec's travelling journalist Marika Wheeler brings us a closer look at these concerns, wrapping up our series on wharves in the Gaspé. Visit our Facebook page for more photos.

Marika Wheeler is back for part 2 of a look at the state of wharves in the Gaspé.
She brings us to Carleton-sur-Mer where like many communities, the wharf is not only important to the economy but is also a gathering place for locals and tourists.
