DFO says change to ‘Crowbush Cove Wharf Small Craft Harbour’ is effective immediately

The federal government is renaming one of its facilities in Prince Edward Island in response to a request from the Abegweit First Nation.

As of Wednesday, the federally operated small craft harbour near the mouth of Savage Harbour on P.E.I.’s North Shore will be known as Crowbush Cove Wharf Small Craft Harbour, Fisheries and Oceans Canada said in a news release.

Abegweit First Nation Chief Junior Gould has been lobbying for the entire area to be renamed in light of how insulting he feels the word “savage” is to Indigenous peoples in Canada.
