BC Ferry Advisory Committees

Whereas Ferry Advisory Committees provide route-specific input and advocacy and exist as part of BC Ferries strategic goal to be customer and community centred; And whereas BC Ferries has dissolved the Ferry Advisory Committees; And whereas the BC Governments Coastal Ferry Services Contract, last amended on March 31, 2024, states that it is committed to ongoing engagement in support of provincial reconciliation efforts: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM advocate to the provincial government to amend the Coastal Ferry Services Contract and include a provision for BC Ferries to develop an engagement framework that meaningfully considers input from local governments and Indigenous communities that rely on the BC Ferry system.
