Maybe a new pan-tilt-zoom webcam...?

Wow nice. Would be nice if more local businesses that regularly use BWD website would do the same.
1 vote for Ross Bay if there's a suitable mount location.

Yeah wow BCFerries. Nice one! Only a couple hundred bucks more is needed and it would be an all time high donation year.
