BC Ferry ticket prices for students to travel to school-sanctioned events are a financial burden that was outlined at the recent Haida Gwaii school district (SD 50) meeting on Jan. 24.
A BC Ferries ferry is pictured travelling between Mayne and Galiano Islands in the Strait of Georgia, B.C. Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2015.
Across the province, students receive a 50 per cent discount on their BC Ferries ticket when they are travelling for a school event. However, this still means that the cost for students living in Victoria to travel to Vancouver is significantly less than that for students living in Haida Gwaii to go to Prince Rupert.
The ferry price is just the tip of the iceberg for the archipelago's school groups, though, he explained. Students from Haida Gwaii have much higher travel bills due to the cost of accommodation and food while they are away from home for multiple days. The school board supported the idea of advocating for the issue and motioned for the Board of Education to write a letter to the Minister of Transportation regarding the fees associated with extracurricular travel for students from Haida Gwaii.
