Victoria Day closure: We see you. We thank you.

Our union hall will be closed on Monday, May 19 for Victoria Day, but we know many of you will still be out there doing what you always do: showing up, getting the job done, and keeping the coast moving.

Statutory holidays look different for ferry and marine workers. While many British Columbians are spending the long weekend with friends and family, you’re crewing vessels, staffing terminals, managing safety, repairing ships and helping passengers get where they need to go. You’re responding to emergencies, coordinating sailings and supporting marine operations in every corner of the province, rain or shine, day or night.

You keep essential services running. You connect communities. You do it all with professionalism, care and pride.

We see you. We’re grateful for everything you do. And we’re proud to represent you.

In solidarity,
BC Ferry & Marine Workers’ Union
