Province Invests in Ferries

The provincial government investing money in the Gagetown and Belleisle ferries as part of their commitment to improve transportation in rural areas.

The 2011-2012 budget set aside 1 million dollars to return the ferries to full service.

The Shawn Graham government initially dry docked the Gagetown, Hampstead and Belleisle ferries in April of 2009 as a cost cutting measure.

The announcement comes along with a 1 million dollar investment to patch potholes and repair asphalt on rural roads.
