Alwards Promise To Remove Toll On Grand Manan Ferry

Progressive Conservative party leader David Alward making a promise to the residents of Grand Manan today as a part of his party's platform.

Alward tells Tide News he is promising to remove the toll on the ferry to Grand Manan Island if they are elected next month. He's also committed to retaining the current ferry operating schedule.

Over the past few decades, the population of Grand Manan has declined year after year and many island residents have been complaining for years that the cost to take the ferry has made it difficult for them financially.
