BC FERRIES OFFERS A LATE NIGHT SAILING FOR BC LIONS FANS
VICTORIA – BC Ferries is offering a late night sailing from Tsawwassen to
Duke Point on Saturday, September 27, at 11:30 p.m. to enable BC Lions football
fans from Vancouver Island to return home after the game on the same day.
If the Ferry Corporation is so concerned about
loosing money on the Gulf Island routes, why are they offering this service that
will probably be subsidized?
BC FERRIES’ EMPLOYEES PARTICIPATE IN SHORELINE CLEANUP
VICTORIA – From the shores of Sidney all the way up to Prince Rupert, hundreds
of BC Ferries employees are participating in the TD Great Canadian Shoreline
Cleanup this week to help keep B.C. beaches pristine. Staff from
throughout BC Ferries service areas will be scouring beaches for refuse this
week.
“As BC Ferries operates in a marine environment, our participation in the
shoreline cleanup is a natural fit,” said Captain Jamie Marshall, BC Ferries’ VP
of Safety, Security and Environment. “Last year our staff collected over 2700
kilograms of debris from shorelines in and around the communities in which we
operate, and we plan to gather even more this year.” Over 360 BC Ferries
employees will volunteer their time to take part in 21 different shoreline
cleanups this week. Employee participation has already doubled from last year,
which demonstrates a deep desire on the part of BC Ferries’ staff to do their
part for the environment and to help keep our oceans clean. |
