The future of transportation for the coastal communities?

Heather Ramsey who lives on the Queen Charlotee Islands. occasionally offers up some interesting pieces for the Tyee website. She has a pretty good article there right now about the sinking of the Queen of the North and the impact on the economies both on the Charlottes and along the North coast.

With an eye towards our Alaskan neighbours, she looks at possible solutions to what could be a devastating hit to the tourism industry along the Northwest. What we might learn from the coastal communities of Alaska and where things may go in the short and long term with BC Ferries is all part of her article.

Check it out here at the Tyee website.
