BC Ferries Seniors Rates

WHEREAS tourism is an important part of the British Columbia economy that must be encouraged and promoted; AND WHEREAS BC Ferries has a seniors rate that is only available to in-province seniors; AND WHEREAS charging a different rate for out-of-province seniors is discriminatory and acts as a disincentive for seniors to holiday in our province: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Union of BC Municipalities petition the provincial government and BC Ferries to extend the current BC seniors rate to all seniors.
