Ferries

Conservative M-L-A Bev Harrison is sounding the alarm about government plans to reduce the number of workers on river ferries -- Harrison says it's risky business especially when there are ice conditions in the river.

Harrison tells CHSJ News the only exception will be the Gondola Point crossing:

Premier Graham tells us nothing will change until federal approval is given -- but -- he says the feds have already approved a similar move for river ferries in B-C.

Graham says it's one of the recommendations coming from a citizens committee report which suggested ways to keep the Belleisle and Gagetown ferries afloat.
