Ferries ready for busy Christmas

BC Ferries is ready for lots of traffic over the Christmas break, but  they don’t expect it all this weekend.

Ferries has added more than 150 sailings to various routes, mainly the big one from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay, but Deborah Marshall of BC Ferries says the biggest volumes will be after Chirstmas Day.
