Travel Assistance Program (TAP) comes to Lasqueti

From the BC government website today:
More people living in rural, remote and First Nations communities will benefit from free ferry service when travelling for non-emergency medical specialist appointments through an expansion to the Travel Assistance Program (TAP).
Beginning Dec. 19, 2024, seven additional ferry routes are being added to TAP, which supports patients with the cost of ground, air or ferry travel to access non-emergency medical specialist services not available in their own community.
The expansion includes round trip travel on the following independently operated ferry routes:
Tahsis and Kyuquot to Gold River
Dodge Cove to Prince Rupert
Lasqueti Island to French Creek
Bamfield, Kildonan and Haggard’s Cove to Port Alberni
Ahousaht and Hot Springs Cove to Tofino
Metlakatla, Oona River, Kitkatla and Hartley Bay to Prince Rupert
Tuck Inlet to Prince Rupert, Aero Point (Lax Kw’alaams Ferry)
