Busy long weekend ahead: BC Ferries

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 31 Aug, 2023 04:24 PM

B-C Ferries wants customers to prepare for a busy Labour Day weekend.

The company says advanced bookings for the holiday weekend show high passenger and vehicle volumes heading from the mainland to Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands today through Saturday, with high eastbound traffic expected from Sunday to Monday.

Those travelling without a confirmed booking are strongly encouraged to travel as foot passengers, with standby vehicle spaces extremely limited.

B-C Ferries says more than 15-hundred round trips fleet-wide will sail this weekend.
