VICTORIA - As a result of a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for the coastal ferries community engagement program, the government of British Columbia has awarded a contract to Kirk & Co Consulting Ltd.

The contract is part of the government's commitment to seek public input on strategies to support a long-term vision of connecting coastal communities in an affordable, efficient and sustainable manner.

The Vancouver-based company was one of nine companies that responded to the RFP posted on BC Bid in June. Kirk & Co Consulting Ltd. has done similar consultations with clients including BC Children's Hospital and the City of Vancouver.

The consultation process, which will include both on-line and in-person engagement activities, will begin later this summer and is expected to conclude before the end of the year.
