What changed
Environment Canada issued wind warnings on November 7 for Metro Vancouver, parts of Vancouver Island, Greater Victoria, the Southern Gulf Islands and the Sunshine Coast ahead of another strong low-pressure system.
Does this affect me?
Travelers throughout the warned South Coast areas, especially coastal motorists, ferry passengers, campers and visitors using exposed outdoor locations. Forecast damaging winds present risks from falling trees, flying debris and possible local power outages.
What should I do?
Prepare for difficult conditions Saturday afternoon, evening and overnight. Secure loose equipment, reconsider exposed outdoor activities, and check ferry, road and accommodation conditions before departure. The warnings do not establish a specific ferry cancellation.
