Posted: Oct. 8, 2023 5:29PMWhen Kari Brown-John arrived in her power wheelchair at the Hullo terminal in Nanaimo Sunday to pick up her daughter, she wished she also had the same opportunity.
Brown-John reached out to the company and to Transport Canada. A second email from Hullo clarified the matter. It goes on to say, “Out of an abundance of caution during our launch of operations, we have only permitted wheelchairs without batteries onboard our vessels. This decision was based on the risk of battery fires onboard our vessels that can be difficult to extinguish. That said, we will investigate with Transport Canada, the feasibility of admitting our passengers’ battery-powered wheelchairs onboard and permitting them to remain seated in their wheelchairs.
