| No New Year's Sailing through Fairview Bay Terminal today as Adverse weather cancels the BC Ferries sailing schedule |
The New Year is off to a challenging start for BC Ferries, with the Ferry Service cancelling its sailings today and tomorrow for the Prince Rupert - Skidegate run that connects the North Coast with Haida Gwaii.
A Service notice posted this morning outlines the decision to cancel the sailing owing to anticipated Adverse Weather on the way, with Haida Gwaii already under an WIND WARNING for the day.

The weather system is anticipated to arrive this afternoon and carry through on Haida Gwaii until Monday.
