The following is a service advisory from BC Ferries.

Effective March 25, BC Ferries is adjusting some sailing times on the Powell River (Saltery Bay) – Sechelt (Earls Cove) route. These changes are being made to maximize efficiency for customers travelling between this route and the Horseshoe Bay-Langdale route, where schedule changes are being made in response to the COVID-19 situation.

The departure times will be adjusted as follows:

Current Schedule:

From Saltery Bay                  From Earls Cove 

3:50 pm                                 4:55 pm                      

6:00 pm                                 7:00 pm

7:55 pm                                 8:50 pm             

9:45 pm                                 10:40 pm              

Schedule from March 25, 2020 (all times earlier):

From Saltery Bay                   From Earls Cove

2:30 pm                                  3:35 pm                      

4:40 pm                                  5:40 pm

All other published sailing times remain unchanged. BC Ferries plans to revert to the previous sailing times at a future date when conditions are more appropriate.
