"I can't tell you how relieved we all are," said area director Bob Beckett, with the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District. "We rely so heavily on the marine services provided by the Lady Rose." The cargo and passenger ferry travels between Port Alberni on central Vancouver Island and Bamfield on the west coast. In 2019, two students from the University of Victoria died when a bus rolled over on its way to the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre. Details of the purchase of Lady Rose Marine Services are expected later this week.
