Photo of the completion of the human made marina for Friday Harbour Resorts. Friday Harbour is an all-seasons lakefront resort on the shores of Lake Simcoe that will include marina, condominiums, theaters, shops and restaurants, a boardwalk, nature preserve and golf course. In the foreground there is a body of water, enclosed by a bricked retaining wall. In the background there are three cranes that have banners saying "FRIDAY HARBOUR" on them and the foundation for a series of buildings. This photo was taken on September 12, 2015 at an event attend by 3000 people to mark the completion of one of Canada's largest inland marinas. The marina basin was excavated, removing 170 000 truckloads (nine million cubic meters) of dirt. The excavated soil will be used to sculpt the landscape of the attached golf course. The water was filled with water from Lake Simcoe, with a negligible change in water levels of the lake. The marina has added 4.5 kilometres of new waterfront and will provide space for up to 1000 boats.
