Long Spit (Whiffin Spit) Master Plan

The District posted a Request for Proposal (RFP) pertaining to Long Spit (Whiffin Spit) Master Plan development in June 2022 with a closing date of July 6, 2022. The purpose of the RFP is to engage a suitably qualified Professional Engineer to analyze existing data available for predicted sea level rise and shoreline-specific conditions to provide short-term and long-term options to retain the environmental, recreational, and cultural values of Long Spit (the Spit).

At this time, the District envisions an elevated walkway for a portion of the Spit which is most susceptible to erosion, green shores design elements to mitigate storm surges and winter wave action which affect on both the Spit’s structure and the inner harbour, and a plan to increase parking.
