Service notice - Temporary Waiting Room - Long Harbour Terminal - October 14 to February 1, 2026

Posted:   Wednesday, October 08, 2025

Temporary Waiting Room
Long Harbour (Salt Spring Island)
October 14 to February 1, 2026

As part of our ongoing commitment to ensure the safe operation of our terminal facilities, necessary maintenance work at the Long Harbour terminal foot passenger waiting room will begin October 14, 2025. The project is expected to be completed by the end of January.

Foot passengers will use a temporary waiting room, including accessible washrooms, set up near the existing terminal. Additional signage will guide travellers to the appropriate area. BC Ferries terminal staff will also be on hand as needed throughout the project to assist both vehicle and foot passengers, ensuring the smooth operation of the terminal and the safety of our customers.

Construction activities will take place between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm with no planned night work. The project will involve equipment that may generate moderate sound levels near the terminal. Every effort will be made to minimize noise for local neighbours, however.

We do not anticipate an impact to vehicle traffic, while all sailings are expected to depart as scheduled.

We thank our customers and neighbours for their patience and understanding as we complete this necessary project.
