The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (VFPA) issued a public statement on the Government of Canada’s decision to defer the cruise season to February 29, 2022. The VFPA is working with other Canadian cruise ports through the Association of Canadian Port Authorities (ACPA) to develop consistent national safety protocols for the resumption of cruising across Canada as soon as conditions allow. The Vancouver cruise industry is a key contributor to the local economy, stimulating $3.17 million in direct economic activity for each ship that calls at Canada Place, and $2.2 billion of total economic impact.
