A dock behind security gates at the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre was damaged Canada Day by more than 20 people. And officials with the museum are encouraging the people who damaged the dock to help pay for repairs. In a social media post, the museum reminded members of the public that 'our docks are behind security gates for your safety.' 'They are also a source of revenue for the Bushplane and support our operations, including many programs for children and seniors,' the post said. 'And don't we all love seeing bushplanes on our waterfront? 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.' Messages to the museum Friday seeking more information about damage to the dock have not yet been returned.
