Protesters block work crews from cutting trees for Denman ferry terminal expansion
“It would be wise to wait until we have at least one season with the Quinitsa and see how that does impact the traffic down here,” Urquhart said. “Does that help? Does that make a difference? Maybe we don’t need a ferry terminal expansion if that happens.”People on Denman Island and Hornby Island have been petitioning BC Ferries for a larger ferry between the two islands.

“The RCMP were called to a complaint of protest involving the removal of trees at the ferry terminal,” Chamberlin told CHEK News. “And it was our job just to come and speak to all the stakeholders who are involved in that situation and determine where they stood with the issues they had and that’s what we’ve done this morning.”At the end of the day, the work crews packed up and headed out without completing work.
CHEK News reached out to BC Ferries for comment asking questions regarding Monday’s protests. BC Ferries sent back an almost identical statement to the one sent for the Jan. 30 story on the same topic.
