Buy a face mask if you plan to travel with BC Ferries.
BC Ferries passengers will be required to cover their face and will be asked to wear the face mask when a physical separation of two metres cannot be maintained.
The order comes into effect on June 15 for routes longer than 30 minutes and applies to all passengers over the age of two, including those passengers travelling in a vehicle.
Passengers will be asked to confirm they have a face covering and are willing to wear it when necessary.
If a passenger answers ‘no’, or fails to answer, they will be unable to travel.
Customers must bring their own face masks as BC Ferries will not be supplying them to travellers.
A face covering should fit securely to the head with ties or ear loops, be made of at least two layers of tightly woven material fabric (such as cotton or linen) and be large enough to completely and comfortably cover the nose and mouth without gaping.
BC Ferries will also continue screening all customers for COVID-19 symptoms and restrict travel to any customer that does not meet the screening requirements, as per the federal guidelines.
BC Ferries has also implemented support for physical distancing, screening customers on arrival, allowing customers to remain in their vehicles on all decks during the sailing and enhanced cleaning.
