Due to insufficient infrastructure on Quadra Island, a replacement water taxi will be unavailable.

We require a specific number of crew members on board the vessel to ensure the safety of our passengers in the unlikely event of an emergency and to comply with Transport Canada regulations. The decision to cancel a sailing in these circumstances is made when we have exhausted all options to find replacement crew. That said, if circumstances change and replacement crew become available, we will notify customers immediately.

For the most up-to-date sailing and departure information, follow BCFerries on Twitter.

We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience you may experience as a result of these cancellations.
