Parks Canada construction paused again in Nipigon
Parks Canada has halted work on the Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area Admin and Visitor Centre in Nipigon. Site supervisor Lisa Nyman confirmed the pause but could not provide the exact cause. Earlier, on May 8, discovery of a non-human bone and mid-to-late 20th century debris prompted a pause and consultation with the Red Rock Indian Band. Environmental monitors may be hired if excavation continues. Further updates are expected.
