Provincial Ferries Return to Full Capacity

The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure has received approval from the Canadian Marine Advisory Council for all provincial vessels to return to full capacity.

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, capacity on provincial ferries had been reduced to 50 percent. This was increased to 80 percent in August 2020 and 85 percent in May 2021.

In addition to this capacity change, the Canadian Marine Advisory Council has approved the resumption of canteen services on all vessels.
