Archaeological excavation for new fishing port in Natashquan, Quebec.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) intends to award a contract for archaeological excavation in the priority active area (approx. 640 m²) of a new fishing port construction site in Natashquan, Quebec. The work involves documenting, excavating, and recovering archaeological data to clear the right-of-way for port facilities, with completion by September 15, 2026. The site shows evidence of sustained historical occupation, possibly linked to a Charles Robin fishing station. Interested suppliers must demonstrate eligibility for a Quebec archaeological research permit, have a senior archaeologist with over 10 years of experience in historical archaeology in Quebec, and comply with federal and Parks Canada standards. This is an Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allowing other suppliers to signal interest by submitting a statement of capabilities.
