If you’re planning on taking a ride with B.C. Ferries any time soon, make sure you have a mask with you and be prepared to wear it.
The company will require mandatory non-medical face masks on all travellers effective Aug. 24.
Previously, the company had required travellers to have a face covering with them but only required it be worn when at the terminal and onboard when social distancing couldn’t be maintained.
The announcement came as a part of the release of their first-quarter results, which shows a revenue drop of $109 million year-over-year.
