Travellers heading to or from Thetis Island will have to plan around three cancelled BC Ferries sailings on Wednesday.

The cancellations on the Chemainus-Penelakut Island-Thetis Island route are scheduled for Oct. 28 to allow for annual replacement of the vessel’s emergency evacuation slide system.

The cancelled sailings are the 12:30 p.m. departure from Chemainus, the 1:05 p.m. departure from Penelakut Island and the 1:30 p.m. departure from Thetis Island.

Regular service is scheduled to resume with the 2:15 p.m. departure from Chemainus.

Passengers are advised to check the BC Ferries website for the latest sailing information.
