Sharp decline in Canadians travelling to U.S. reflected in Victoria-Port Angeles ferry passengers

This season, from March to August, Burles says Black Ball Ferry saw an average monthly decline of 15 per cent fewer passengers on board, with Canadians making up the bulk of the declining passenger numbers (30 to 35 per cent).

“Generally we’re down about 15 per cent. Our Canadian travellers are about 30 per cent of our travel. We’re down about 30 to 35 per cent Canadians and maybe 0 or five per cent down on Americans,” says Burles.
