Gabriola Wants Ferry Advisory Boards Back After BC Ferries Dumps Them for Website
- B.C. Ferries dissolved the ferry advisory committees on May 1, replacing them with the Let's Connect framework using a website for feedback.
- This change followed feedback indicating the advisory committee model was ineffective and a desire by some to connect more directly with B.C. Ferries.
- Former committee members and Gabriola stakeholders criticized the move as anti-democratic and felt the new system disenfranchised community voices by limiting organized input.
- Gabriola’s former chair, Steven Earle, said B.C. Ferries promised a transparent process with "everything on the table," but communication with committees stopped since fall 2024.
- Stakeholders and local representatives are urging officials to reinstate ferry advisory boards to restore structured community feedback on scheduling and other ferry concerns.
