The Coastal Council
Navigate: Home : Core review issues : Coastal Council Archives.
The Coastal Council was formed as an independent body of stakeholder representatives from coastal communities and business interests in 1998. We advise the Provincial Government and BC Ferries on major issues relating to coastal ferry service and infrastructure and serve as a forum for discussions on ferry issues and coastal transportation infrastructure.
The Coastal Council has made key contributions to decisions on a number of issues over the past 4 years, including a sustainable financial framework for BC Ferries and the development of a rational, equitable tariff model for the first time in BC Ferries' history.
Our decisions, reports and input have all been based on the development of consensus amongst stakeholders from very different situations and backgrounds–we have a strong history of working together for the good of coastal transportation infrastructure rather than the narrow interests of our individual groups or communities. The past President of BC Ferries, Mr. Bob Lingwood has stated that prior to his involvement with the Corporation he had never worked with such a well informed and productive stakeholder group.
We also serve as a forum that brings together discussion from local route Advisory Committees up and down the coast, and provides information back to the local stakeholders.
