Ferry Advisory Committees Call for Volunteers

BC Ferries coordinates public consultation throughout the coastal communities by means of Ferry Advisory Committees (FAC). These bodies are composed of volunteers who are interested in all aspects of ferry service and operations within their community. These committees function within a three-year term, and as the next term begins January 1, 2012, this call for volunteers is open to all members of the public at this time.

Committee members are reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred while conducting FAC-related activities. Ideally, committee members represent a stakeholder group, thus providing an avenue for two-way flow of information between BC Ferries and these groups. For the Quadra and Cortes Islands committee, BC Ferries is seeking volunteers for this next committee.

If you are interested in joining your FAC for the 2012-2014 term, please contact: Darin Guenette, Manager, Public Affairs at 1-877- 978-2385 (toll free) or darin.guenette@bcferries.com no later than December 9, 2011. For further information on any aspects of these committees (including committee Terms of Reference), visit the BC Ferries website (www.bcferries.com/About BC Ferries/Public Consultation), email any member of your local FAC (contact information on website) or reach out to Darin Guenette.
