BC Ferries Capt. Erika Brockhausen spoke to more than 60 members of the South Delta Probus Club on Feb. 20 at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn.
Brockhausen touched on being part of the first BCIT Cadet program class in 1999, getting deep sea experience on board oil tankers and how she fulfilled her dream of becoming a captain for BC Ferries.
“A BC Ferries captain gave me a tour of the ship’s bridge when I was 15 and asked what I thought. I looked out the window at the incredible scenery and thought to myself, ‘Well, this is a nice office.’ I knew from that day being a captain with BC Ferries was what I wanted to do,” Brockhausen told the group.
The South Delta Probus Club is for retired and semi-retired people who wish to gather with others to enjoy learning and fellowship. The club meets monthly.
