Howe Island to host town hall on ferry service
“It was very shocking,” says Judy Greenwood-Speers, mayor of Frontenac Islands.
“Especially since the ferry has been in service for over 18 years, and suddenly, it’s not safe. They’ve been trying to make accommodations, and I think there will be a solution found.” Johnson says island residents have submitted a petition to the Minister of Transportation through MP Mark Gerretsen, to restore the ferry’s capacity, which has garnered well over 500 signatures on two separate petitions.“If you live on an island, you expect delays. You expect life to be inconvenient from time to time. But you don’t expect the kind of indifference that we’ve received. There is a feeling on the island that we’ve been abandoned by our provincial government.
The Howe Island Ratepayers Association will be sponsoring a town hall meeting to discuss the ongoing ferry service issues this Saturday. They will be inviting members of all three branches of government and the MTO to attend — although the MTO has already said it will not be sending a representative.
