Thanks to everyone who supported our campaign.
By displaying such a large level of public opposition, your voice helped to bring about constructive discussions between BC Ferries and the Sunshine Coast Regional District. Serious efforts are now underway to find a constructive solution that will work for everyone.

We, the undersigned, call upon BCFC to keep open, and the British Columbia Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure to require BCFC to keep open, the BC Ferry Route 13 Langdale dock for the public beyond 15 October 2009. This will allow passengers of local water taxis and private boats to continue to share the Route 13 access ramp and walkways to the shore, terminal entrance and parking lot.
We propose:
• that the West Howe Sound communities undertake a public education program reminding boaters to observe a safe distance from BCFC vessels in and near Langdale Terminal.
• that BCFC establish and mark a safe small-boat channel in the approaches to Langdale Terminal.
• that the Minister endorse the Sunshine Coast Regional District’s request that BCFC attend meetings with a goal of maintaining access to the Langdale Terminal float.
• that BCFC attend such meetings with the clear objective of maintaining such public access at Langdale Terminal.
