Waiting for the ferry is about to get more convenient for people as Wi-Fi service will soon be offered at 14 more BC Ferries terminals.
BC Ferries is receiving up to $1.5 million through the ministry's Connecting British Columbia program. The grant will help cover the cost of bringing Wi-Fi coverage to minor route terminals, including public lounges, vehicle line-up areas and where possible, parking lots.
"BC Ferries thanks the province for their support to expand the availability of free Wi-Fi to more locations," says Mark Collins, president and CEO of BC Ferries, in a news release. "This project will see us invest in ongoing terminal Wi-Fi operating costs. This partnership helps meet the provincial government's goal to keep British Columbians connected by introducing Wi-Fi at more of our properties."
Wi-Fi will be made available at terminals serving people on east Denman Island, Buckley Bay, Heriot Bay, Whaletown, Descanso Bay, Alert Bay, Vesuvius Bay, Sturdies Bay, Bella Bella, Port Hardy, Long Harbour, Otter Bay, Lyall Harbour and Nanaimo Harbour.
