A 10-passenger water taxi has been sourced and will provide complimentary service on the same schedule as the cancelled sailings.
We require a specific number of crew members on board the vessel to ensure the safety of our passengers in the unlikely event of an emergency and to comply with Transport Canada regulations. Should any sailings be impacted, we will notify customers via Service Notice as soon as the information is confirmed.
The decision to cancel a sailing in these circumstances is made when we have exhausted all options to find replacement crew. If circumstances change and replacement crew become available, we would notify customers immediately.
