Gibsons and District Chamber of Commerce, Sunshine Coast BC
Foot Passenger Ferry Survey
English Bay Launch, a company which has been operating a regular foot passenger service to Bowen Island for the last three years, is examining the feasibility of starting a service between Gibsons and downtown Vancouver, using the new float at Gibsons Wharf. They intend to start first with a weekend tourist service this summer, and then possibly expand. They have created a web survey for local residents in order to gauge the extent of local interest and see what options might work.
Please help us to distribute this survey widely in the Gibsons area. <TAKE SURVEY HERE. CKAY news story HERE.
