BC Ferries faces challenges ahead of Victoria Day long weekend
Ferry service warns of potential disruptions as peak travel period approaches.
BC Ferries is preparing for what it calls the "fifth busiest" long weekend, with concerns about vessel availability and capacity. The ferry service previously experienced significant cancellations and left passengers stranded during Easter weekend in April due to mechanical issues and delayed returns from annual refits. With an aging fleet and insufficient vessels, the service is warning travelers to plan accordingly for Victoria Day weekend travel.
