Environment Canada has issued a yellow wind warning for Greater Victoria near Haro Strait, with strong southeasterly winds expected Friday morning into the afternoon.
Winds could reach 70 km/h before easing later in the day.
Power outages are possible, so residents are advised to secure loose objects and continue monitoring weather alerts and forecasts.
BC Ferries has cancelled six sailings on the Tsawwassen–Swartz Bay route for Friday, November 6, because of the forecast high winds and wave heights in the Strait of Georgia.
The cancellations are the 7 a.m. departure from Swartz Bay, 7 a.m. from Tsawwassen, 8 a.m. from Swartz Bay, 9 a.m. from Tsawwassen, 9 a.m. from Swartz Bay and 10 a.m. from Tsawwassen.
