Our Harbour is operated and maintained by the Gimli Harbour Authority in partnership with Small Craft Harbours.

Gimli is home to a well established community of commercial fisherman – a group dedicated to the overall success and preservation of the Gimli Harbour.

The Gimli Harbour Authority has assumed the responsibility for all event bookings within the Gimli Harbour. This includes the area often referred to as “Bill’s Hill”. Over the years, the Gimli Harbour has become a popular area for weddings, wedding photographs and other similar events. There are no fees for the use of the harbour areas, however there are a few conditions that must be met prior to booking an event:

1- An occasional use permit must be filled out and sent to the Gimli Harbour Authority

2- A $200.00 refundable deposit is required for larger events such as weddings. This deposit will be returned if the area used for the event is left in a clean and tidy fashion.

Prior to booking your event, please contact the Gimli Harbour Authority to determine which days are available. Your deposit should be sent along with the completed occasional use permit.

In recent years, the Gimli Harbour and Lake Winnipeg have become increasingly popular recreation areas. However, Lake Winnipeg and the areas around the Gimli Harbour support an active commercial fishing industry. The commercial fishing seasons normally run mid-May to mid-July and resume again in the fall around mid-September to mid-November. In the interest of safety and awareness, the local Gimli commercial fishermen have produced an information sheet in cooperation with the Gimli Harbour Authority. The aim of this information placard is to educate recreational boaters on how commercial fishing nets are placed, and how to safely navigate around them.
