Seventeen-Year-Old Builds Detailed BC Ferries Models

community · Denman Island

Seventeen-year-old Josh Yeung, a resident with autism, has been building detailed models of BC Ferries vessels from cardboard and household materials, inspired by his frequent ferry trips since childhood. He attends Whytecliff Learning Centre and aspires to work for BC Ferries in the future.

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.
