BC Ferries celebrates Ferry Advisory Committee Volunteers
National Volunteer Week 2022
To ensure our service meets the needs of communities across coastal BC, we regularly consult with the 13 Ferry Advisory Committees comprised of residents who represent local communities serviced by our inter-island routes.
FAC Chairs and members work year-round to provide BC Ferries with advice and insight that helps inform day-to-day operations, terminal and vessel improvements, schedule changes, and other initiatives. There are no days off for an FAC Chair. They answer emails, phone calls, and questions from community members 24/7. Find out more about the Ferry Advisory Committee Volunteers in the profiles below.
Ferry Advisory Committee Volunteer Profiles
Bowen Island - Melanie Mason
Chemainus, Thetis, Penelakut - Keith Rush and Sharon Cross
Mill Bay, Brentwood Bay - Ian Cameron
North and Central Coast - Councillor Reg Moody

We meet with these committees to discuss day-to-day operations, planned improvements, fares, service changes and new projects. Meetings, held in the spring and the fall, are open to the public to observe and learn information relevant to ferry service in the community. Look for notices on specific dates and times of a meeting in your area.
Travel advisory: Multiple advisories in effect. Check before you travel.
