governance · October 3, 2024 · Baynes Sound Connector ferry route
A letter from Denman Island resident Sharon Small to BC Ferries Commissioner Hage criticizes the unreliability of the Baynes Sound Connector cable ferry over eight years. The letter alleges BC Ferries has dismissed community concerns, underreported service interruptions, and made poor decisions regarding the ferry's operation and budget.
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.
