Vancouver Rundown Monday July 3, 2023
Summary
The first long weekend of July and it’s a mess at BC Ferries. Sunday was marked by a number of cancellations for those hoping to sail between Swartz Bay, Pender Island and Mayne Island. Blame staffing issues for that problem. And the weekend was off to a rough start with sold out bookings on the main runs between Tsawwassen and Vancouver Island due to a combination of holiday volume and one ferry in for repairs. Monday is expected to have it’s own delays as many make a return trip home to the mainland.
