Couldn’t make last week’s FAC meeting? We’ve got you covered. Check out our updated Agendas & Minutes page for everything you missed. And if you really want to indulge your inner ferry geek, here’s a link to BC Ferries document outlining their plans for Performance Term 5. Warning! This is not a read for the faint of heart. If you’re the type to skip to the juicy bits, the information most pertinent to the Gabriola Route shows up between page 150 & 155. Happy Reading.
According to that document it will be 2020 for the Gabriola terminal upgrade and 2027 when the Quinsam is replaced.
As I recall, the plan is that when the two new Island Class ferries arrive for Route 19, Quinsam will be cascaded to another route (potentially Crofton-Vesuvius) to allow an older vessel to be retired
