The Province and BC Ferries partnership project to install Wi-Fi service to 14 additional ferry terminals has wrapped up.

This brings the total number of terminals with free Wi-Fi access to 21.

The project is part of the $1.5 million grant fund given through the Ministry of Citizens Services’ Connecting British Columbian program, which is in place to keep British Columbians connected in those smaller coastal communities.

The access to free Wi-Fi allows people travelling the ability to connect for work, leisure or general trip information while waiting for their ferry or upon arriving at their destination.

The coverage of Wi-Fi within BC Ferries’ terminals, includes public lounges, vehicle holding compounds and where practical, parking lots.
