Quadra Island RCMP Called For ‘Volunteer’ At BC Ferry Terminal

RCMP on Quadra Island were called out to lend a hand with traffic flow - after someone else tried to do the same at the ferry lineup last week.

RCMP on Quadra Island were called out to lend a hand with traffic flow - after someone else tried to do the same at the ferry lineup last week.

On August 10th, BC ferries contacted the RCMP requesting assistance with a man who was interfering with traffic controllers in the ferry lineups.

The man was not employed by BC ferries and had taken it upon himself to assist with long lineups to avoid collisions.

Police say while the man had good intentions and was honestly trying to keep motorists safe, he was asked to stop and let the ferry staff do their jobs.

The self-appointed volunteer was somewhat argumentative at first, then agreed to leave after it was explained why he couldn’t stay there.
