Session Format
For these sessions, BC Ferries is working with third-party facilitators from Spur Communication who help organizations and communities hold meaningful conversations on challenging topics.
These events will be facilitated circle discussions allowing you to sit in face-to-face conversation with fellow community members and BC Ferries staff. Drop in and join in the discussions most relevant to you. Agendas for each session are noted above.
There will be three consecutive circle discussions, each focused on a different topic of conversation:
- The Denman East terminal upgrade project and mitigating environmental impacts of the project
- Evaluating enhanced summer schedules for Routes 21 and 22, and vessel plans for both routes
- Other topics the community would like to discuss
Conversations will be hosted by two facilitators and relevant BC Ferries experts. We value respectful dialogue and participation, and will be actively creating a space in which all voices can be heard. We look forward to meeting with you.
