MLA Brittny Anderson has shared the following statement:

"I know that people are eager for updates on the new Kootenay Lake Ferry vessel. The Ministry of Transportation and Transit is working to complete the delivery of the Kootenay Lake Ferry Services Improvement Project, which will enhance safety, reliability, and service for travellers.

Major milestones are already complete including dredging of the Western Arm of Kootenay Lake for navigational safety and upgrades to the Balfour and Kootenay Bay terminals. Construction of the new vessel to replace the ageing MV Balfour is approximately 75 percent complete, as outlined in the latest project update.

The ministry is working with the design-builder to resolve remaining challenges and ensure the vessel meets the highest standards. Activity on site has recently slowed as part of this process, planning and coordination work continues in the background to keep the project moving forward.

The ministry is using every available contractual tool to minimize delays, with the goal of delivering the new vessel in 2027. Our goal is that ferry service on Kootenay Lake remains uninterrupted while construction of the new vessel in Nelson continues.

I will keep the community updated as things progress, as always it is my priority to support workers, constituents and ferry travellers in the Kootenays."
