Ferry Advisory Committees (FACs)

Index of FAC meeting minutes >>
   
 

BC Ferries has been engaged in public consultation with ferry dependent communities since 1993.

The objective is to share information between BC Ferries' management and representatives of local communities on the day-to-day operations of specific routes, planned improvements to terminals, and broader policy issues, such as the tariff, and the corporate strategic plan.

Twelve Ferry Advisory Committees represent the communities served by BC Ferries in the areas identified below.  (See also Specific Interest Groups-Terminal Liaison Committees >>) 

The terms of the FAC member appointments expire on December 31, 2008. Committees are appointed in cooperation with local governments, the Islands Trust and First Nations.
