Ferry Group Reacts to New Hours

The ferry may still be running, but the Save Our Ferries group is not happy about the condensed hours.
The ferry has stopped running 24 hours a day, and spokesperson Linda Watson says residents want the ferry to run exactly like it had before the government took it off.

Watson tells CHSJ News, by not having the ferries running overnight emergency vehicle response times are greatly affected.
At a meeting earlier in the week residents had the opportunity to speak with Eric Allaby, who is in charge of overseeing the transition from public to private ownership of the ferries.
Watson says Allaby has been great to deal with, and certainly earned his 2 hundred dollars for the 2 hour meeting after hearing dozens of emotional stories, and took about 10 pages of notes.
