Spring 2014

Its a late but very beautiful spring here in Dunnottar.  The piers are currently being built by the hardworking team, led by Mr. Donald Skorupski.

Here is the article from the Village website:

Dunnottar’s Piers

Mr. Skorupski has been building piers for many years, with 2014

marking his 60th anniversary. On top of building the piers, Mr.

Skorupski constructs the sitting decks and assists the village with

budget requirements annually. Generally, one of the eight piers is

replaced each year.

Each year, depending on the weather and ice conditions on the lake,

the piers are erected in a varying order so each pier gets a chance of

being first.

In 2013, one of the village’s piers was featured on the Government of

Manitoba’s homepage.

In 2014, there is $51,500 budgeted for pier and sitting deck construc-

tion. With the completion of the shoreline repairs, new sitting decks

are planned for Selkirk Avenue and Matlock Road.

Congratulations Mr. Skorupski on 60 years in the business
