Staff shortages at BC Ferries have led to cancellations on one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.
The company added 85 extra sailings for the Thanksgiving long weekend in anticipation of the increased demand.More than 420,000 passengers and 160,000 vehicles are expected to board between Thursday and Tuesday.
Foot passenger reservations are also available for customers travelling from Tsawwassen to the Southern Gulf Islands. Walk-on passengers are urged to make a free booking on the three routes connecting Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island as well as on the Tsawwassen-Southern Gulf Islands route. “BC Ferries appreciates the professionalism of staff and the patience of customers as the company navigates one of the busiest long weekends of the year. Abusive behaviour will not be tolerated and everyone is encouraged to be respectful, kind, calm, and safe,” wrote BC Ferries.“Customers with advance bookings do not experience sailing waits, even when multiple waits are reported,” said BC Ferries.
