HIRRA seeks public input on ferry service improvements

infrastructure · 2022-09 · Denman and Hornby Islands ferry routes

Following the removal of the previous BC Ferries CEO and a successful petition by the Ferry Advisory Committee, BC Ferries has agreed to several service improvements for Denman and Hornby Islands ferry routes, including new vessels and expanded capacity. Some community members express skepticism about whether these promises will be fulfilled.

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.
