The Town of Wabana says it's going to sue the provincial government over what it says is a violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The town on Bell Island, off Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula, says some residents who rely on ferry services have been missing work — or losing their jobs entirely — over fluctuating ferry schedules and the capacity and public health restrictions in place amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
