Wind warnings for Greater Victoria and West Vancouver Island have put some BC Ferries sailings and Harbour Air flights at risk Sunday afternoon.
Environment Canada says a Pacific storm moving across northern Vancouver Island Sunday morning will likely bring strong winds of up to 90 km/h by the afternoon, which could damage to buildings.
BC Ferries has issued a travel advisory in relation to the wind warning. And Harbour Air says its flights to Victoria are experiencing delays.
Environment Canada says the winds are expected to subside by Monday morning.
