Schedule change
Monday, April 28, was the first day of a revised ferry schedule for the route servicing Powell River and Vancouver Island.
BC Ferries has posted schedules for the Queen of Burnaby on the Comox - Powell River route. The main change is seen for Wednesday and Saturday sailings.
The morning schedule remains unchanged. The afternoon has changed significantly depending on the day. There is a sailing at 3:15 pm from Little River every day except Wednesday and Saturday, and the same at 5:15 pm from Westview. This is followed by a 7:15 pm sailing from Little River and 8:30 pm sailing from Westview. On a Wednesday and Saturday the afternoon sailing is shifted to 6:30 pm from Little River and 8:30 pm from Westview.
The modified schedule for Earls Cove - Saltery Bay remains in effect until April 30, at which time the Island Sky will go back onto the route, replacing the Queen of Chilliwack. Powell River - Texada Island schedule remains unchanged until May 11. Currently the Tachek is servicing the route. The North Island Princess is due to return mid-May after maintenance.

Setting it straight
Following publication of a story on April 23 about the concession at Powell River Recreation Complex being closed following a visit from the health inspector, Elaine Teichgraber contacted the Peak to say she had left Planet Cleve mid-December 2013 and was not involved with the business at the time of the announced closure. We are sorry for any distress the mention of her name in the story has caused her.
