Gat Leedm Dock is located at 90 Charlie Currie Road near Cow Bay. Foot passengers may board the water taxi at either Amix Group Terminal (with vehicle passengers) or at Gat Leedm Dock. The ramp at the Gat Leedm Dock is more accommodating for travellers with accessibility needs.
Due to space limitations, all passengers, including foot passengers, must make a reservation in advance by calling 250-625-2445. Regular ferry fares apply when travelling on the barge and water taxi.
The crew will continue to update travelers about future ferry services. The crew of the Spirit of Lax Kw’alaams apologizes for the inconvenience for passengers.
