BC Ferries Will Not Mandate Vaccines For Travel & Here's Their Response To Those Asking
As a private company the ferries are exempt from new restrictions. ⛴️
The feds recently announced that by October 30 you'll have to be vaccinated to travel within Canada, but travelling on BC Ferries is one exception to this rule.
While you will need to be vaccinated before hopping on a Via Rail train or any domestic flight, vaccination won't be required to use the ferry service.
As the Provincial Ministry of Transportation previously confirmed we are an essential service, vaccine status will not be required for passengers to sail w/ us at this time.\n\nFurther updates can be found here: https://ow.ly/OXhA30rWgIf\u00a0 ^ajb— BC Ferries | Reconnecting BC (@BC Ferries | Reconnecting BC) 1633548299
Trudeau said that any exemptions to the new mandates will be narrow, but, although BC Ferries is regulated by Transport Canada, it is a private company.
BC Ferries will continue to enforce its mask mandate and cleaning policies while forgoing the vaccine requirement.
