Who decides when to cancel ferries because of weather?

About this episode

Have you ever found out your sailing has been cancelled due to bad weather, despite it not seeming that bad where you are? There’s more science behind it than you think. In this repeat episode, CBC meteorologist and science reporter Johanna Wagstaffe tells us about her visit to the B.C. Ferries ‘command room’, where she met the people who make those calls and found out how they’re made.
