2025 Ojibway Dock Renewal

 The dock between the fire pump hut and gift shop has served our community long and well, but it is at the end of its lifespan. This summer the OHPS is fundraising to replace it. In keeping with the original wharf design which has welcomed visitors since 1906, the underpinnings and deck boards will be rebuilt. This central piece will be raised approximately 14 inches to match the elevation of the fixed docks at either end. Further expansion into the bay will provide more space for visitors, islanders, campers, regatta racers and social eventers!

Two contractors have reviewed drawings prepared by Watt International and submitted cost estimates to the OHPS board. Fundraising began quietly last year. Thanks to the many who have already generously given, we have raised $425,000! We are more than halfway to our fundraising goal of $750,000. Your support will ensure that the historical Ojibway front dock, central to our treasured summers in Pointe au Baril, will continue to be the number one gathering place for ALL!

Any project untaken by the OHPS must be FULLY FUNDED BEFORE PROCEEDING, so the balance needs to be raised this summer before this vital restoration project can begin. Please look for our ‘Bucks For Boards’ signs at the Ojibway, with QR codes for seamless donating.
Every dollar counts. Thank you!!
