BC Ferries Proposes Government Partnership to Avoid Fare Hikes

governance · December 15, 2025

BC Ferries has proposed forming a "sustainable partnership" with federal, provincial, and local governments to increase funding and avoid fare hikes exceeding 30% in two years. The proposal maintains the existing governance model, which has been criticized for lack of accountability and vessel failures.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
