Improvements could include a new terminal at YVR and passenger only service to supplement already congested routes

This follows a series of meetings from Vancouver Island to Haida Gwaii

The Minister of Transportation will open up public engagement online in the new year

VICTORIA (NEWS 1130) – The NDP government in B.C. is taking steps that could lead to major changes at BC Ferries.

Minister of Transportation, Claire Trevena, will be meeting with stakeholders on Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast and on Haida Gwaii in the coming months.

In the new year, the rest of us will have a chance to engage in an online engagement process.

The government is calling it a “vision for the future” which could include passenger-only ferries, and even a new terminal at YVR.

Developing a provincial vision for BC Ferries was a key recommendation made in a provincial review of the semi-private corporation, earlier this year.
