Mayors from Atlantic Canada getting together in the city to talk about ferry service.
Mayor Ivan Court is worried the Princess of Acadia between Saint John and Digby will not survive without sustainable funding from the federal government and that would be a big loss considering the numbers.....150 thousand so far this year.
The Mayors want the federal government to treat the ferry service the same as highways as part of the transportation system. Court maintains by the end of the year almost as many people will have used the Princess of Acadia as visit Saint John on cruise ships each year. Tomorrow, the Mayors will be talking about funding for their aging infrastructure.
