Dear SIPOA members,
SIPOA will be making a short presentation to the BC Ferry Commissioner in respect of his review of the Coastal Ferry Act on October 1, 2011. Our intent is to provide feedback that looks to finding prospective solutions for the BC Ferry Commissioner to pursue as opposed to rehashing a complaint list.
