Where can I find the Ferry Advisory Committee meeting notes?
BC Ferries representatives meet with Ferry Advisory Committees twice yearly to discuss day-to-day operations, planned improvements, fares, service changes and new projects.
Meetings, held in the spring and the fall, are open to the public to observe and learn information relevant to ferry service in the community. Look for notices on the Community Page in the centre column below the "updates" section, along the right-hand column below "key dates" or in your local media for specific dates and times of a meeting in your area.
