A much-needed upgrade to the Belleville ferry terminal will benefit from input from the public, Paul Nursey and Bruce Williams write
A commentary. Nursey is the CEO of Destination Greater Victoria and Williams is the CEO of the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce.
The Belleville Terminal has operated as a key piece of infrastructure for trade and tourism since 1924. A vital point-of-entry for goods that supports our quality of life, as well as being the “welcome mat” to our city, the terminal has spawned and supported thousands of jobs throughout the capital region and is responsible for generating millions of dollars in provincial revenue annually.It has been studied for years, and by all accounts it has earned its keep.
The local visitor economy was excited to welcome our American friends back to the community. These are our best customers. A new terminal is anticipated to generate $257 million in visitor spending and an estimated 3,200 additional regional jobs per year in 20 years.
