Media Policy | Bridge-Free Salish Sea
https://bridgefreesalishsea.wordpress.com/media-policy
The members of Bridge-Free Salish Sea appreciate respectful media attention. However, because we are a collective, we don’t give individual, on-the-spot interviews to print media. This is because we prefer to work from a place of group consensus. Rather than contacting a member of our collective with a request for an immediate interview, we ask that journalists explore our blog and forward interview questions to bridgefreesalishsea@shaw.ca. Thank you for your interest! The desire to volunteer? Please con...

Bridge-Free Salish Sea Reacts to the Gabriola Bridge Decision. January 26, 2016. On January 25, 2016, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure concluded that while a bridge to Gabriola and Mudge Islands appears to be technically feasible, it would not be a cost-effective alternative to the current ferry link. Further, the Ministry confirmed that the Government of British Columbia will not consider a fixed link to Gabriola Island at this time. While pleased with the outcome of the study, the BFSS...

May 20, 2016. Ferry minister says he is not responsible for ferries (May 5, 2016). Last week I had the opportunity to ask the Minister of Transportation about our ferry system. We covered a wide range of issues from affordability to the contracts for building new ferries, and upgrading existing ferries in Poland. Perhaps the most enlightening moment came when the minister said he wasn’t actually responsible for BC Ferries. That could explain the mess that our marine highway is in at present. Further, the...

Possible Impacts | Bridge-Free Salish Sea
https://bridgefreesalishsea.wordpress.com/possible-bridge-impacts
We’ve compiled this list of concerns which we feel bear consideration. Many of the items in this list are speculation. We don’t know, for instance, whether the Gabriolan elementary school would close, but we think it’s a possibility. Many bridge proponents insist that a bridge would allow Gabriolan high-schoolers to participate in after-school activities, but would this really be the case? A bridge to Nanaimo wouldn’t necessarily result in an expanded job market. Currently, people leave Nanaimo...Many sm...
