A popular passenger ferry that travels between Victoria and Seattle will be sailing into the BC city's harbour for the first time in 18 months as it gets back to business this week.
FRS Clipper is the company that operates the Victoria Clipper V vessel, and its CEO says operations were expected to be halted until spring of next year due to staffing issues.
He says federal unemployment benefits in the United States ran out on September 3rd for many people and if the company couldn't recall its staff, it risked losing key personnel.
Starting Friday, Clipper will operate a four-day schedule over weekends, with added sailings around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons.
