Pelee Island Ferry Resumes Weekly Service
July 22, 2021
LEAMINGTON – The Ontario government has worked with the Owen Sound Transportation Company (OSTC) on the resumption of the normal level of scheduled service with the Pelee Islander II ferry to ensure residents and visitors continue to have reliable access to and from the mainland.
“Ferries not only connect the island in this community, but also provide an important link with the rest of the province,” said Rick Nicholls, MPP for Chatham-Kent-Leamington. “This resumption of service level ensures that residents, farmers, and businesses can continue to access the services and goods they require.”
On May 31, the Pelee Islander began operating on alternating weeks with the Pelee Islander II. With the resumption of the normal level of scheduled ferry service, reservations that customers have made will be maintained for the Pelee Islander II ferry service.
“The Pelee Island ferry is a vital part of our transportation network, and I want to thank MPP Nicholls for advocating for its service,” said Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Transportation. “With summer in full swing, the return to the normal level of ferry service will ensure that those who live and visit the island will be able to take advantage of all that Pelee Island has to offer.”
“We are thrilled to be resuming the normal level of ferry service,” said Marta Leardi-Anderson OSTC Chair. “We thank our customers for their patience and look forward to a busy and safe summer of travel.”
