Trois-Rivières Port Authority adds land

Summary#

These supplementary letters patent add a specific property to the list of non-federal lands held or used by the Trois-Rivières Port Authority under the Canada Marine Act. The parcel is lot 1 019 121, about 2,705.9 m2 in the city of Trois-Rivières. The amendment was signed February 9, 2026 and takes effect when the deed is registered in Quebec’s land register.

What it does#

• Adds lot 1 019 121 (shown on a survey plan prepared September 29, 2008, plan number 14,189) to Schedule C of the original letters patent for the Trois-Rivières Port Authority.
• Confirms the board of the Authority asked the Minister of Transport for this change and that the Minister (named below) approved the amendment.
• States the amendment becomes effective on the date the deed of sale is registered in the Land register of Quebec.
• Notes the original letters patent for the Authority took effect May 1, 1999.

Who's affected#

• Trois-Rivières Port Authority — it will hold or occupy the added parcel.
• The seller of the land (not named in the notice) and anyone involved in registering the deed in Quebec.
• Local residents, businesses, and users of the port area may notice changes later if the Authority uses the land for operations or development.
• It is not clear from the notice exactly how the Authority plans to use the parcel.

Why it matters#

• The port gains a defined piece of land (2,705.9 m2) that could be used for storage, facilities, or other port-related activities.
• That extra land may affect local waterfront use, traffic, or economic activity depending on how the Authority develops it.
• The change itself is an administrative step: the practical impact depends on what the port decides to do with the property after the deed is registered.
