Episode Details

pecial Weather Statements have been posted by Environment Canada as the B.C. south coast gets hit by strong wind. Gusts of up to 70 km/h are expected over a wide area of Metro Vancouver, Greater Victoria and the Gulf Islands - BC Hydro crews and contractors are on standby to deal with expected outages. BC Ferries is closely watching the situation in anticipation of possible cancellations.

Meanwhile, some BC Ferries customers are now making unexpected Tuesday trips following a long weekend of delays and cancellations. BC Ferries had to deal with three ships experiencing mechanical problems while two others remained out of service during the busy long weekend. That forced several cancellations on main routes between Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland. The BC Conservatives blame the BC Ferries Board and the NDP government for failing to fix serious issues over the past nine years.
