BC Ferries will have extra sailings on three of its major routes for the upcoming Easter long weekend.
Between April 2 and April 6, the routes Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay, Horseshoe Bay-Departure Bay and Horseshoe Bay-Langdale will be receiving a total of 58 extra sailings to accommodate higher traffic volumes.
Of those sailings, 42 will be for Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay, 10 for Horseshoe Bay-Departure Bay and six for Horseshoe Bay-Langdale. The schedule for the Earls Cove-Saltery Bay run will be adjusted to align with the extra sailings between Horseshoe Bay and Langdale.
Traffic volumes are expected to be at their highest between midday Thursday to late morning on Friday for those leaving Metro Vancouver and Monday afternoon as travellers return to the metro region.
BC Ferries is encouraging customers to consider making reservations if they plan to travel during these periods.
