Islander Ferry Travel Benefits and Medical Travel Information

infrastructure · Denman and Hornby Islands ferry routes

Information is provided about ferry travel benefits for Islanders, including free ferry rides for children attending off-island activities, medical travel with pink slips from the Denman Clinic, and Hope Air flights for urgent medical procedures anywhere in Canada. B.C. Ferries customer service may assist with connections to avoid missing the last ferry to the island.

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.
