Summer schedule adds two daily Fulford sailings

People travelling between Fulford and Swartz Bay will have more sailing options this summer.

Salt Spring Island Ferry Advisory Committee chair Harold Swierenga said summer service will also be enhanced with hourly sailings between Swartz Bay and Tsawwassen, and more sailings on the Long Harbour to Tsawwassen route.
