Dear Editor and Bowen Island Community,
Scheduled fare increases (arriving April 1) and service cuts are no joke.Still, some of us think it is worth using our our collective island wit to show BC Ferries and the BC Liberal government what we think of their ridiculous proposals.
On Sunday March 30 at 1pm down by the ferry dock in Snug Cove come gather with us as we play a joke on BC Ferries for once. We are busy making up a sign that will make you grin and want to have the biggest group of islanders standing behind it so we can say to BC Ferries and to the Liberal government that their plans are a Joke! We had a good turnout for the protest but now let’s blow that turnout out of the water. So feel free to bring along any funny signs and goofy smiles! On April 1 we will then send our April Fool’s photo to Christy Clark, Todd Stone (Min. For transportation and Infrastructure), Jordan Sturdy (MLA West Vancouver/Sea-to-Sky) and the press to say Stop this Silliness!
Looking forward to seeing you this Sunday! Bowen Islanders for Ferry Fairness.
Please see our Facebook page BIFF: Bowen Islanders for Ferry Fairness, Bowen Island Forum postings, and website (sites.google.com/site/biffonbowen) for updates.
Sincerely,
Melanie Surtees-Mason
