Scottish Canals' customer and user group meetings provide an opportunity for regular, meaningful engagement between Scottish Canals, our customers, communities, and stakeholders.

Providing regular, focused engagement routes ensures that boating customers, canal users and residents can highlight areas of concern and potential issues affecting them, and that Scottish Canals can listen, respond, and resolve as appropriate.

The next Crinan Canal Community Meeting will be held on Wednesday 26th March 2025 from 17.30 - 19.30 - The meeting will be held in person at The Egg Shed. 

As this is the first meeting of 2025 updates will be provided on a range of activities, including Crinan Basin landscape improvements, ongoing works, and will update on our plans to progress a Dunardry Rolling Bridge project .

Further meetings for 2025 are provisionally scheduled as follows: 

  • Wednesday 25th June 17.30 - 19.30 
  • Wednesday 24th September 17.30 - 19.30 
  • Wednesday 17th December 17.30 - 19.30 

Scottish Canals held a second in-person engagement event at the Crinan Coffee Shop on Monday 7th October 2024, 10.30am-12.30pm.
