Update, November 6, 2026, 19:45 UTC: the original BC Ferries advisory and current-conditions links redirected to the operator’s site-unavailable notice when rechecked. Its alternative departures page could not be displayed either. The latest operating status of individual sailings could not be confirmed. A website outage is not evidence that ferry service has resumed or stopped.

BC Ferries reported weather-related disruption on November 6, 2026, as high winds and waves affected travel across the Strait of Georgia. Passengers should check their specific route and departure before setting out; a cancellation earlier in the day does not establish the status of a later sailing.

What the operator reported earlier

The previously checked BC Ferries weather advisory, marked 5:45 a.m. on November 6, described disruption affecting multiple routes because of conditions in the Strait of Georgia. The operator’s Tsawwassen–Swartz Bay current-conditions page also listed cancelled departures during the morning and early afternoon when checked.

Why travellers should recheck their departure

NanaimoNewsNOW reported on November 5 that early November 6 departures on the Departure Bay–Horseshoe Bay and Duke Point–Tsawwassen routes were being cancelled ahead of the weather. That advance report is not a live list of every affected sailing.

While live web information is unavailable, contact BC Ferries Customer Care at 1-888-223-3779 from Canada or the United States for route-specific help. The operator’s accessible service-disruption guide explains its cancellation procedures. This is not confirmation of a particular sailing, rebooking, refund entitlement or full service resumption.
