Osprey 2000 ferry to be out of service for a month starting April 7

Kootenay Lake’s Osprey 2000 ferry will be out of service from April 7 to May 5 for scheduled spring maintenance and refit work. 

Ferry operator Western Pacific Marine said this year’s refit has been extended in response to new Transport Canada regulatory requirements to allow for necessary and time-sensitive upgrades. 

During the closure, the smaller MV Balfour ferry will operate on the regular winter schedule. 

Travellers may experience longer wait times during peak periods and are advised to check DriveBC for the latest sailing information.
