Big news if you use the Horseshoe Bay ferry regularly. Starting today you *must* reserve if you are going *from* Horseshoe Bay *to* Departure Bay. Only that route, only that direction. Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay is unaffected.
This is due to major construction at HS Bay terminal.

Let's end fossil fuel development in BC!
I want green: tidal, wind, solar, geothermal. If only the #BCpremier's office would stop their 24 years of preventing #bchydro from doing it? @emilylowan

Former transport minister Chrystia Freeland is being called back to a committee to testify after emails suggested the ministry was given weeks of notice that B.C. Ferries was buying four new vessels from a Chinese shipyard.

Big BIG shoutout to BC Ferries crew of the Spirit of Vancouver Island and Queen of New Westminster who rescued a passenger who fell overboard in a matter of minutes!
"They said they anticipated about an hour's delay on the Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay route as a result."
There are longer delays created by simple traffic congestion at the terminals!!
Hope the passenger was OK.

It's almost an official sport in British Columbia; kicking around #BCFerries. I live in a community (Sunshine Coast) dependent on the BC Ferries and I reject that criticism. The crews are unfailingly professional, efficient, and pleasant. I'm not surprised they did this rescue as fast as they did. It's a complex, expensive system, the BC Ferries, but most shots at them are unwarranted.
