Residents in the Village of Gagetown say they have mixed emotions over the news that the province is adding a new $6.5-million ferry to its fleet after the transportation minister made it clear their community's ferry is not coming back.

Residents in the Village of Gagetown, N.B., met with Opposition Leader Blaine Higgs regarding the Gallant government's decision to discontinue ferry service in their area.

Residents of Gagetown and surrounding areas held a protest at the New Brunswick Legislature Wednesday in hopes of convincing the provincial government to bring back their ferry.
