The Province's Transportation Minister says the Gagetown ferry will keep running into December.
Denis Landry says this decision honours recommendations by a community working group that looked at the future of three ferries. Landry says the 52 year old Gagetown vessel will continue to operate until early to mid December before the Saint John River freezes up.
The Graham Government agreed in September to continue operating the vessel on a seasonal basis for 18 hours a day. Landry says his government is making good on another recommendation by the working group. That is the ferry will undergo assessment by a naval architect to determine if it meets federal standards and outline any necessary upgrades and costs.
