Those near Burrard Inlet on Monday morning (May 27) might have seen a SeaBus in the middle of the water looking like it was experiencing an emergency.
Not to worry though: it was all planned.
"This was a scheduled annual safety drill required by Transport Canada. It was a life raft deployment exercise on an out-of-service vessel," TransLink spokesperson Thor Diakow tells V.I.A. in an email.
These sorts of drills happen from time to time in the area.
While this one happened in late May, last year a similar safety drill was caught on camera and drew a lot of curious eyes in March 2023.
