Canada Day celebrations on the Sault waterfront got a little out of hand last night, according to the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre.
"If you are one of the 20-plus people who trespassed last night and broke our dock, perhaps you would consider making a donation so we can afford to build a new one," the popular museum said late Wednesday afternoon in a social post.
"Our docks are behind security gates for your safety," the post added.
"They are also a source of revenue for the Bushplane and support our operations, including many programs for children and seniors. And don't we all love seeing bushplanes on our waterfront!"
Voted the No. 1 best place to visit in Sault Ste. Marie by TripAdvisor, the museum is asking the dock-wreckers to consider making online donations toward the cost of a new dock to its Canada Helps page.
The now-broken museum dock is part of a federally-registered water aerodrome (CPX8) that shares airspace with the Sault Ste. Marie International Seaplane Base across the river.
