B.C. Ferries resumes some hot-food service

Hot-food service is back on the menu at some B.C. Ferries cafes as COVID-19 restrictions continue to ease across British Columbia. The ferry company says packaged food items and limited hot-food services are available on select routes between Vancouver Island, Metro Vancouver, Southern Gulf Islands, Sunshine Coast and North Coast. Hot-food selections, the company says, will be served in packaging that will allow customers to take them back to their vehicles or onto the outer decks. There will be limited cafeteria seating. B.C. Ferries is also reopening its Lands End Cafe in the Swartz Bay terminal along with its Passages gift stores on the Spirit of British Columbia and Spirit of Vancouver Island, travelling between Swartz Bay and Tsawwassen, and the Queen of Cowichan and Queen of Oak Bay, which connect Nanaimo’s Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay.
