CIRQL Update: On September 21, CIRQL secured unanimous support from Bowen Island’s Committee of the Whole to explore Snug Cove as our initial landing. We've got a couple options under consideration. In the months ahead, we’ll be working with staff to find the best Snug Cove solution, balancing navigation, passenger flow, accessibility and other waterfront users. Stay tuned.

CIRQL Ferries is really getting to the bottom of what's going on in Gibsons Harbour! Thrilled to partner with the pro divers at All Tides Consulting & Design, as well as the Town of Gibsons & Gibsons Landing Harbour Authority, to check out the underwater landscape around our future ferry landing site.

These dives give us a better idea of how to minimize impacts on sensitive ecosystems as we build out the infrastructure for our ferry service.

Another item checked off our preparation list -- thank you to All Tides Consulting for helping us move this work forward!

New hurdle cleared! CIRQL Ferries moves forward on Vancouver’s Harbour Green dock as our downtown landing site, after successful motions passed this month by Vancouver Park Board and City Council.

Next up: contract negotiations with the City to finalize CIRQL Ferries’ access to the site.

It took a HUGE team effort (navigating through highs and lows!) to get here and we could not be more grateful to those who helped make this happen. Stay tuned for service to begin in 2028 ⛴️

Key part of CIRQL venture falls into place with recent Vancouver Park Board and City Council motions
