Point of Clarification regarding Lane 8I had a miscommunication with BC Ferries and there is no plan to hire Lane 8 to provide free pick up and delivery services to individuals on Cortes during the ferry service disruption. Apologies for the confusion! More updates will come in the next few months so stay tuned.
In the meantime, save yourself some time and make use of Lane 8’s great local service. Deliveries to and pick ups in Campbell River are on Tuesday and Thursday. Deliveries on Cortes are the following days – Wednesday & Friday. Full details of their service can be found here:
