Queen of Capilano headed for refit QUEEN OF CUMBERLAND WILL TAKE OVER UNTIL DECEMBER ALEX KURIAL Editor
WHAT’S ALL DOWN THERE? Volunteers in the sea and on the shore participated in the Dive For Debris cleanup in Snug Cove on Sunday. Together the group hauled, sorted and disposed of a staggering 487 pounds of garbage from the ocean floor. We’ll have more coverage of the ecologically helpful event for our local waters in next week’s issue. / Submitted photo

The Queen of Cumberland is returning to service the Snug Cove to Horseshoe Bay ferry route for the next two months. The usual vessel, Queen of Capilano, will be undergoing a refit during that time. Its last one took place two years ago when the ferry was away for nearly six weeks in October and November. This year the local vessel will make way for the Queen of Cumberland for nearly two months starting October 15 and lasting until December 7. Cumberland’s overall capacity is about 15 vehicles less than Capilano. BC Ferries is introducing a pair of temporary measures to attempt and offset the smaller sailings. One is assured loading for vehicles with four or more people in them during three weekday sailings from Horseshoe Bay; the 4:35, 5:45, and 6:50 pm crossings. CONTINUED ON PAGE 3
