Attending BC Ferries AGM ~ looking for local input...
Wednesday, August 15, 2012 at 9:46PM I will be attending the BC Ferries AGM next week in Vancouver representing the Thetis Island FAC. The Ferry Advisory Committee Chairs has a number of meetings scheduled, including one with ferry commissioner Gordon Macatee. He has requested that each FAC chair speak to their local issues…so, at the risk of a deluge of information, I am seeking some input from you folks. Each chair will have less than 5 minutes, so it will have to be short and to the point.
Some examples would be:
Gaps in the schedule: 10:35 to 1:20 leaving Thetis, 9:45 to 12:45 leaving Chemainus. Penelakut has similar gaps as well, 5:00 to 7:20 leaving Chemainus, 7:45 am to 10:15 am leaving Penelakut, and arriving in Chemainus from Penelakut 2:10 to 4:50 PM.
Ability to maintain the schedule…in the morning particularly.
Lack of potable water on the ship…I know it is Chemainus water, and is fine to drink…but that is not what the signs say.
Timeliness of service notices…
Over length fares…
The continued need for commuter runs in the morning and evening.
Thanks in advance for your comments…
