As of April 1st, BC Ferries will begin restoring the majority of ferry routes that were cut in 2014.
Claire Trevena, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, confirmed the news saying it will making it easier for people in coastal communities who rely on ferries for day-to-day travel to get around.
The agreement will see over 2,700 additional round trips added to schedules on 10 minor and northern routes.
Meantime 2 northern routes, Route 10, Port Hardy to Prince Rupert and Route 26, Skidegate to Alliford Bay, will take longer to implement due to the operational changes involved, and the need to hire new crews.
Route 6, Crofton to Vesuvius, will see full implementation on May 1st.
Trevena says ferry fares will continue to be frozen in 2019.
