British Columbians still have time to share their input for a vision on coastal ferry services, following the launch of a public engagement in February 2020.
A media release from the BC government stated that a questionnaire is open for public feedback until March 20 at 4 pm and can be found online at engage.gov.bc.ca/coastalferries.
Development of a vision was one of the recommendations made by Blair Redlin, who conducted an independent review of coastal ferry services in 2018, according to the release.
Following the close of the survey, results will inform the development of a provincial vision to guide the future of BC’s coastal ferry service.
Four themes emerged following stakeholder engagement in October and November 2019:
· support efficient end-to-end travel of people and goods
· be equitable and accessible
· mitigate and be responsive to climate change
· reflect the values of coastal communities
People can share their input and feedback at engage.gov.bc.ca/coastalferries.
