Story in TC today says the Harbour Authority wants to unload responsibility for the terminal building.
The Greater Victoria Harbour Authority is looking to reduce its losses by handing back to the province control of the CPR Steamship Terminal building on the Inner Harbour.
Authority chief executive Ian Robertson confirmed the organization is in discussions with the province about the possibility of taking the head lease of the historic building off the harbour authority’s hands.
“The conversation around the lease has been an ongoing discussion since I got here” seven years ago, Robertson said. “I can say they have picked up in the last few months.”
The urgency of those discussions appears to have increased, with the harbour authority reporting a $1.1-million loss for the past year. The previous year it posted a surplus of $3.6 million.

instead of having an inefficient provincial/municpal body own and operate it, why don't they sell it to a private landlord who will operate it to a profit and pay the government $$ for the land and building.
ground lease it to someone for 99 years with provisiosn to maintain as heritage building etc etc.

He only did that to spite his kids.
The Oak Bay Marina was founded by the late Bob Wright, who built it in 1962 to serve pleasure boats. The first 30-year lease cost Wright $1 per year out of recognition for the cost of launching the business, Murdoch said.

Webb is assuming that the existing BC government would ever support anything as colonial/settler as a maritime museum.
Posted 11 December 2021 - 12:36 PM
“We have been talking off and on with the ministry over the last year, trying to work an angle to at least get a presence in the building,” said Webb. “We think [the disruptions] have created an opportunity.”
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is considering all options for what to do with the CPR Steamship Terminal building.
