A growing petition with 2600 signatures is making the rounds as Hornby Island residents appeal to BC Ferries for increased ferry service.
A growing petition with 2600 signatures, more than double the population of Hornby Island, is making the rounds as local residents appeal to BC Ferries for increased ferry service.
“Now, I mean, I’ve had a seven sailing wait lineup, and that’s like three-and-a-half hours. It’s just ridiculous and that’s in the heat, and there’s nowhere to get any water, nowhere to go to the toilet, it’s insane,” said resident Colin Boyd. Hornby Island has numerous construction projects on the go and cement trucks from Vancouver Island have had to turn around when the wait was too long.
“For the Denman Island – Hornby Island route, we are planning to deploy a larger vessel in the peak season starting as early as next summer. The MV Quinitsa, which carries approximately 44 vehicles, will replace the current vessel, the MV Kahloke, which carries approximately 21 vehicles in the summer months.”
