Reposted: Tuesday, November 19, 2024

We are actively following a rapidly intensifying storm that is expected to reach parts of British Columbia’s West Coast by Tuesday, November 19, 2024. The adverse weather conditions may impact travel through Wednesday, November 20.

Travellers are advised to check our Service Notices page prior to travel for any possible service disruptions.

The safety of our passengers and crew is of primary importance to us, and we will continue to monitor this weather system and share information as it becomes available. For further information regarding any weather warnings in place, please visit Environment Canada.

We meet with these committees to discuss day-to-day operations, planned improvements, fares, service changes and new projects. Meetings, held in the spring and the fall, are open to the public to observe and learn information relevant to ferry service in the community. Look for notices on specific dates and times of a meeting in your area.

Our teams will be visiting the communities we serve to provide information and updates on topics that are important to each individual community. These sessions are a chance to hear directly from those who live, work and play in the communities we serve and for community members to connect with us face-to-face.
