Island Trust Letter regarding BC Ferries Funding

Click here to view a letter from Islands Trust Council Chair Sheila Malcolmson to the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government regarding BC Ferries funding.  Sheila makes the case that the 2003 Coastal Ferry Act has failed to deliver on its intention and promises.  Additionally, the chronic lack of government funding has resulted in fares that are past the tipping point of affordability and are having serious negative impacts on coastal communities.  A good read and background information for the next set of coastal ferries consultation.
