Back issue. The Denman Firestarter did not exist on 2025-01-30. This edition was compiled on 2026-10-01 from the public record as it stood on 2025-01-30, and contains nothing dated after that day — no outcomes, no hindsight. It is a reconstruction of what was on the record at the time, not a document from the time. This edition.

Report. Facts and citations only. Where we argue a position we do it in Analysis, labelled. Our standards.

The January 30 issue of The Islands Grapevine includes a letter titled “Letter to Transport Minster Farnworth and BC Ferries Commissioner Hage,” signed by Sharon Small.^[1]

The issue also contains other opinion material, but the supplied text does not include the letter’s contents or a second letter presenting an opposing view on ferry service.^[1]

The available documents therefore do not establish a documented disagreement between letter writers about the ferry.^[1]
