The Proposed Project

The Department of National Defence (DND) is proposing to upgrade the perimeter security infrastructure at the Sault Ste. Marie Armoury through the installation of new perimeter fencing and access gates. The proposed fence will generally follow the existing property boundary.

Construction activities will include vegetation clearing and grubbing, excavation, and the installation of fencing and barbed wire to maintain perimeter security.
