Freshwater ferries in B.C. are still under the umbrella of the Ministry of Transportation and there’s a long list of petitioners who would like to see the saltwater ferries brought back into the fold.
Jim Abram, a director for the Strathcona Regional District says coastal B.C. contributes 38 per cent of the GDP to the provincial economy and the communities deserve better…….
Abram says residents of the Sunshine Coast have been some of the biggest supporters of the idea…..
Abram started a petition 2 months ago and has garnered 15,000 signatures so far.
He’s closing it out this week and will be delivering it to the legislature.
