Fellow Petitioners we appreciate your patience. We've elected to go into another holding pattern waiting for the support from our Elected Community Leaders.
To date we have the support of:
1. Chair Martin of the SSI Chamber of Commerce and his 200+ Member's.
2. Mayor Siebring and Council of The Municipality of North Cowichan.
3. You - the 1951 Petitioners to date and slowly climbing.
Patiently waiting for the support of:
1. Mr. Holman our CRD Director on behalf of our Community.
2. Chair of the Islands Trust - Peter Luckham, SSI LTC - Trustees Patrick and Grove on behalf of our Community.
3. Our appointed SSI Ferry Advisory Committee on behalf of our Community.
4. The Chamber of Commerce of Chemainus, Ladysmith and Duncan on behalf of all our Communities for the efficient transport of People, Goods and Services to and from Our Island. Route 6 is a vital link to Mid Vancouver Island.
The comment from BC Ferries - VP Brian Anderson in last week's Driftwood is simply lip service to effectively attempt to quash our Impressive Petition. Respectfully, if Brian and BC Ferries had of done more doing than talking on behalf of our Community over the last decade, we wouldn't be in Ferry Traffic Crisis Mode at all 3 Ferry Terminals Fulford, Vesuvius and Crofton.
As always thank you for your support. Feel free to pick up the phone and call our Elected Officials to discuss the issues.
