Company says it’s replacing 13 committees with new engagement system it hasn’t yet designed
B.C. Ferries advisory committee chairs were stunned to learn Monday that all 13 committees are being shut down at the end of April, to be replaced by a new engagement system that has not yet been designed.
As of January, B.C. Ferries will be working to design a “new engagement model that better addresses the evolving needs of growing coastal communities, reflecting the importance of more effectively incorporating digital engagement,” it said in a statement on Monday.
“I’m boggled,” said Diana Mumford, the chair of all the committee chairs, who also heads up the Southern Sunshine Coast f erry advisory committee.
