Here's what the 2026 BC Provincial Election parties are promising.

Run a pilot project to reserve 12% of advance booking space on ferries for local residents, on the Horseshoe Bay—Langdale and Westview—Little River routes
"The pilot would reserve a total of 12% of advance booking space for local residents. This includes 10% of advance booking space up to four days before sailing, and an additional 2% of advance booking space up until 24 hours before sailing. The pilot would begin on two routes:
1. Horseshoe Bay – Langdale (Sunshine Coast)
2. Westview (Powell River) – Little River (Comox)"
