For those heading to Victoria and southern Vancouver Island, there are also an additional 46 sailings scheduled for the Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay route this long weekend.
Commuters are reminded the traffic heading back to Metro Vancouver after the weekend tends to make Monday one of the busiest days of the season, with lineups peaking in the afternoon.
Customers who need to get on a specific sailing are advised to make a reservation.
On Thursday, B.C. Ferries also switched to its “shoulder season” schedule – in effect until the end of June – which means changed departure times for some routes. For more information visit bcferries.com.
