Comprehensive Examination

comprehensive examination: The article deals with the howls of pain expected from island residents with respect to potential increases in ferry rates. Isnt it surprising that the smaller the island, the louder the screams will likely be? , according to Times Colonist. Our decision to move here followed a comprehensive examination of all the differences it would mean. We concluded that Victoria would best serve our lifestyle. We did not choose to live in one of the smaller communities up-Island as the cultural activity in the Victoria area is more accessible, and we wouldnt have to drive over icy roads in the dark, as we would if we had chosen an up-Island location. Re: Outcry expected over cuts to ferry routes, Aug. 8. We moved to Vancouver Island from Winnipeg 26 years ago, but not before we spent some time here and carefully considered the implications of using the ferry service. It has worked well for us partly because we seldom drive to the mainland, unless we plan for an extended stay where we want a car. We can readily go to Vancouver for a day without a car; public transportation works well and is much less costly. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
