Residents in the Belleisle Bay area are determined to keep the Graham government from docking the Belleisle ferry along with the Gagetown and Hampstead ferries permanently as of next Friday.
Close to 300 people packed the Belleisle High School last night to plot their strategy — and — they are smarting over what they term an attack on their way of life.
Meeting organizer Linda Watson tells CHSJ News there is no stopping now — she meets with Tourism Minister Stuart Jamieson on Tuesday while residents from Belleisle Bay to Gagetown are planning a rally in Fredericton on Thursday.
And they want any decision to cut the Belleisle – Gagetown – and – Hampstead ferries delayed until a full economic impact assessment is done.
